Hello.

I just wanted to check with you, the experts, on what directories to
include in the basebackup (following
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/continuous-archiving.html)

I should include these:

base/
global/
pg_clog/
pg_multixact/
pg_stat_tmp/
pg_subtrans/
pg_tblspc/
pg_twophase/
PG_VERSION
pg_xlog/
postmaster.opts


and I can skip

pg_log/
postmaster.pid

Right?

What about pg_xlog/ directory? Is that really needed? I store the WAL
file in another place already, or should pg_xlog be included just in
case it will be more recent if crash-recovery i possible?
