Hi team,
With non-exclusive backup method, trying backup from standby node.
But pg_stop_backup function returns “WAL archiving is not enabled…” and the logs are not archived to WAL directory configured.
Please check if I am missing anything in configuring this properly,
Server was restarted after setting the archiving params in postgresql.conf
Below is from version 14:
postgres=# select pg_start_backup('label', false, false);
pg_start_backup
-----------------
0/60000D8
(1 row)
postgres=# select pg_stop_backup('false');
NOTICE: WAL archiving is not enabled; you must ensure that all required WAL segments are copied through other means to complete the backup
pg_stop_backup
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
