What I'm trying to say is that I configured it to keep (60/5) * 24 segments plus a few spare, because I am switching
xlogevery 5 mins. But if there is heavy load then they will be generated more often than every 5 mins, so that number
won'tbe enough.
But I think it's a moot point because they seem to be useless unless you have all of them up to the last base backup.
Whichto me indicates I need to do a base backup every day...?
