We have a Postgresql instance (0.5-4TB in size) used for development and on-line reporting. 
We do not need high-availability, but we do need:
1. Quick disaster recovery (<1 hour) is important.
2. Recovery from corruption of the server or mistakes. 

Will file-system replication be enough to achieve this goal? 
Do we also need WAL file archiving? 

We implemented streaming replication, but it's much more complex and harder to maintain. 

Thanks
Tom
