Thanks so much - sounds like I have a backup option if plan A fails. 

Do you or any others here foresee any issues with me doing a database stop
(i.e., "pg_ctl stop -D data") followed by one more "rsync -aP" to true up
the directory on the external drive, with finally a "pg_ctl -D
/path-to-attached-drive"?
