Hi Nestor,
So the question is: Can I have some continues wal archiving and then
transfer all WAL files to *standby* everyday, recover the database and
backup all data without having to rsync the data every time i make a
backup ?
Yes,You can do as you mentioned.
1) set the below parameters in Postgresql.conf file on Primary server.
archive_mode=on
archive_command='cp %p /opt/backup/wal_archives/%f'
2)apply these wall files to standby server hourly/daily basis as your requirement.
configure the recovery.conf file.
Hi Chiru, I have done archiving on primary server, and recovery on standby server, howerver, after the first recovery I am unable to recover more wal files on standby server
Can it be possible in 8.4 ? or just in 9.1 ?
This is the recovery I use:
<< EOF
restore_command = '/usr/lib/postgresql/8.4/bin/pg_standby -l -d -s 2 -t /var/run/postgresql/8.4-main.trigger /var/lib/postgresql/8.4/main/wal-archive %f %p %r 2>>/var/log/postgresql/postgresql-8.4-main-standby.log'
recovery_end_command = 'rm -f /var/run/postgresql/8.4-main.trigger'
EOF
Slds.
Best Regards,
Chiru
