Thanks you. The FATAL message is not clear. Yes, It is helpful if someone with more knowledge of the connection code.


[postgres@pgserver ~]$ /opt/PostgreSQL/9.5/bin/pg_basebackup  --format=t   --pgdata=online_backups1 -p 5432 -U backup_admin  -x -z  --verbose
pg_basebackup: could not connect to server: FATAL:  must be superuser or replication role to start walsender

Thanks for the reply,

Actually I am not setting Role for database specific,I did set Role to
user.
Since users and roles are global for all databases in PostgreSQL,I
believe it should work for replication pesudo database.

Except for the part where the 'replication' database does not actually exist, so I am not seeing how a connection could be established to it. Now whether a replication connection is supposed to honor SET ROLE is something someone with more knowledge of the connection code will have to answer. The evidence says it does not.


Thanks,
Chiru
