Bug reference:      8450
Logged by:          Stuart Bishop
Email address:      stuart@stuartbishop.net
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.9
Operating system:   all
Description:

Hi.


pg_basebackup blocks until all necessary WAL files have been archived by
archive_command. This can take a few minutes under normal circumstances, and
indefinitely if archive_command is failing.


I would like to be able to disable this check, as I am streaming backups to
a system that can time out my connection if it does not receive new data for
a short while. This makes unattended backups problematic.
