While I appreciate suggestions of other ways to do replication, does anyone have an answer to my original question?
...The procedure I'd like to implement is:
server B is always "cold" (Postgres not running)
while A is running, rsync A --> B
stop Postgres on A
rsync A --> B
restart Postgres on A
My question is: what about the WAL files? Do I need to rsync them from A to B too, or can/should I just clean out B's WAL directory, or something else?
