Hi
Just trying to put together the hot_standby setup
All docs I read are pointing to use as prefered method to use pg_basebackup to set the base
So far so good
But
psql postgres -c "select pg_start_backup('backup')"
pg_basebackup -D /var/lib/pgsql/sample -Ft -z -P
psql postgres -c "select pg_stop_backup()"
will get me on target

where as
psql postgres -c "select pg_start_backup('backup')"
pg_basebackup -D /var/lib/pgsql/sample -Ft -z -P -x
psql postgres -c "select pg_stop_backup()"
I am good to go
Pretty much every where I looked at -x is not mentioned to be used
So what gives ? What did I miss ? It's gotta be soomething
Thanks
Armand
