Hi!
I try to setup continuous archiving with PG 9.6 according to this
documentation:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/continuous-archiving.html
I have Postgres wal_archive set to replica, I have archive on and
archive command is properly copying WAL segments to backup storage.
Having this running, I make a successful tar base backup using
pg_basebackup.
I then stop the DB, remove the data directory, unpack base backup to it,
create recovery.conf with a proper restore_command, run the server, and get:
LOG: database system was interrupted; last known up at 2017-10-25
15:47:37 UTC
LOG: starting archive recovery
Object 'pg_small3/pg_xlog/RECOVERYXLOG.lzo' not found
Cannot download pg_xlog/RECOVERYXLOG.lzo
LOG: invalid checkpoint record
FATAL: could not locate required checkpoint record
HINT: If you are not restoring from a backup, try removing the file
"/var/lib/postgresql/data/backup_label".
LOG: startup process (PID 20) exited with exit code 1
LOG: aborting startup due to startup process failure
LOG: database system is shut down
The message about "pg_xlog/RECOVERYXLOG.lzo" is written out by
restore_command. Indeed, the file is not in the backup storage, and
pg_xlog/RECOVERYXLOG was NEVER sent there by archive_command (which
compresses and adds .lzo extension)!
What could I be doing wrong?
