Hi,
i use the following script to backup servers every day to a remote location.
---snip---
REMOTE=xyz123.louis.info
DATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
ssh xyz123.louis.info "echo \"checkpoint; SELECT
pg_start_backup('${DATE}');\" |psql"
rsync -avxz --numeric-ids --exclude-from=/backup1/config/excludes.txt
--delete-excluded --inplace --delete root(at)${REMOTE}:/
/mnt/backup1/remote/xyz123/full
ssh xyz123.louis.info "echo \"SELECT pg_stop_backup();\" |psql"
---snip---
i have some questions about this:
1. will this always work?
2. between these backups i do not save the archive logs, is this secure?
3. is it save to empty the archive directory befor i do a backup with
pg_start_backup()?
best Regards
Boris Bukowski
