I've tried with -i and --incremental , and the results are the same. In both cases without "="
[postgres@buda viernes]$ pg_basebackup -c fast -P -D /var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/viernes –-incremental /var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/base_plano/backup_manifest
pg_basebackup: error: demasiados argumentos en la línea de órdenes (el primero es «–-incremental») pg_basebackup: consejo: Pruebe «pg_basebackup --help» para mayor información.

I've tried your command line, and I have the same error. The minus sign is not the good one. Try:
pg_basebackup -c fast -P -D /var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/viernes --incremental /var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/base_plano/backup_manifest
Hi admins, I'm trying to execute an incremental backup and I'm getting the following error
[postgres@buda ~]$ pg_basebackup -c fast -P -D $PGBKP/fisicos/viernes –-incremental=$PGBKP/fisicos/base_plano/backup_manifest
pg_basebackup: error: demasiados argumentos en la línea de órdenes (el primero es «–-incremental=/var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/base_tar/backup_manifest») pg_basebackup: consejo: Pruebe «pg_basebackup --help» para mayor información.
The literal translation of the error message is: pg_basebackup: error: too many arguments in the command line (the first is «–-incremental=/var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/base_tar/backup_manifest»)
It looks like it thinks that "--incremental=/var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/base_tar/backup_manifest" is one argument rather than an argument and its value. Try getting rid of the equal value. Maybe it will help.
