Hi,
This thread came from another thread about wal_level [1].
Mainly from backup management tools perspective
such as pgBackRest, EDB's BART and pg_probackup,
it seems worth talking about a way comprehensively
to trace and recognize wal_level changes for various purposes and values
like necessity of invalidating old backups for example.
In the thread [1], I talk about wal_level='none' but
these kind of topic applies changing wal_level to 'minimal'
from higher level too. Accordingly, I made this topic as a new independent thread.
Currently, these backup management tools described above
work when wal_level is higher than minimal
because these use physical online backup or wal archiving
but giving any useful ideas for backup management
related to wal_level changes is welcomed.
