Hi Hackers,
I've updated the wiki page
https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Incremental_backup following the result
of discussion on hackers.
Compared to first version, we switched from a timestamp+checksum based
approach to one based on LSN.
This patch adds an option to pg_basebackup and to replication protocol
BASE_BACKUP command to generate a backup_profile file. It is almost
useless by itself, but it is the foundation on which we will build the
file based incremental backup (and hopefully a block based incremental
backup after it).
Any comment will be appreciated. In particular I'd appreciate comments
on correctness of relnode files detection and LSN extraction code.
Regards,
Marco
