Hi,

Need help with replication setup, pg_basebackup failing with:

pg_basebackup -P -R -X stream -c fast -h <node_name> -U <user_name> -p <port#> -D <dat_location> -v
Password:
pg_basebackup: initiating base backup, waiting for checkpoint to complete
pg_basebackup: checkpoint completed
pg_basebackup: write-ahead log start point: 6/67000028 on timeline 2
pg_basebackup: starting background WAL receiver
pg_basebackup: created temporary replication slot "pg_basebackup_3720137"
pg_basebackup: error: could not create directory "......": File exists
pg_basebackup: removing contents of data directory "............"
pg_basebackup: changes to tablespace directories will not be undone

Kind Regards
Samir
