I don't quite get the purpose of bootstrap files. If I backup my Postgres
database nightly, do I need bootstrap files? I'm under the impression I
don't. They seem to only be used on restores and if you have the whole
database you don't need them. Right?
I'm currently writing out a bootstrap file for each one of my jobs using
the "Write Bootstrap" entry. Is this necessary? Can I just remove the entry
to write out the bootstrap file?
The manual, on the 5th page of the section entitled "The Bootstrap File",
shows an example where a single volume is restored and it says that "one is a
Full backup" and the "following three are all Incremental backups". Is there
any way to tell from the output given. I couldn't tell from the output given.
Or do we have to give another command to know this?
Thanks for all your help.
