2011-01-06 08:28:58 ICT WARNING:  transaction log file
"00000001000000040000005E" could not be archived: too many failures

And my pg_xlog can not copy to D:/3SDATABACKUP/PITR/WAL from 06/01/2011.
How to fix error ? Please help me

Some possible reasons:

- Target disk full

- PostgreSQL user does not have write privilege for the target directory

- Target file exists already (then you have a bigger problem)

- PostgreSQL user does not have full control privileges for the source
 file (the copy command needs them)

If you can stop your server, do so, then try to copy the file yourself on the command line. If that fails as well, you will get a better error message. If the server must stay up, copy the file to somwhere else on D: (assuming you don't have a volume mounted somewhere in the path).

If you can copy the file yourself, you have a permissions problem. Make sure the PostgreSQL service user has full control on both the source and target directories.
