Hi, Dave.


It depends on what you're trying to do.


If you want a slave up in real-time replication mode, that's by far the simplest setup.


The concept is:

1) start a backup


select pg_start_backup("myslave"),true);


2) Rsync (or tar) your pg data directory over to your slave.


3) select pg_stop_backup();


4) Tell your slave how to connect to the master


Start your slave.


This is a pretty straight-forward link for this:


https://opensourcedbms.com/dbms/how-to-do-point-in-time-recovery-with-postgresql-9-2-pitr-3/

opensourcedbms.com
This post describes how to do point in time recovery with PostgreSQL 9.2 : PITR. Point in time recovery (PITR) simply means restoring data upto certain point in time.



If you want to do something "clever," like offset how far behind the slave is, that's more complex.

Hello Friends,

 

                       I need to setup PITR. Using master, I am able to do wal archiving.

But using slave I am not able to archive WAL files.

 

Can anyone please guide me, how to setup PITR using Hot StandBy?

 

I have setup LogShpping + Streaming Replication in my dev environment, now using this slave I want to setup PITR.

 

I have already setup following parameters:

 

wal_level = hot_standby

 

archive_mode = on

 

archive_command = 'copy "c:\\Program Files\\PostgreSQL\\9.4\\data\\%p" "\\\\192.168.170.221\\Primary_WAL_Archive\\%f"'

 

max_wal_senders = 3

 

wal_keep_segments = 8

 

hot_standby = on

 

Any help is appreciated.

The standby/slave is read only and does not generate WAL files (it only consumes them to stay in sync with the master).
