Please provide me if u can some script to identify which one is latest file so that I can copy this to some other place. One more question. Is there a way to build or configure the database server to replicate pg_xlogs ?

I use this fairly simple method:

LASTLOG=`ls -rt /pg_xlog/ | grep -v "backup\|archive" | tail -1`

There might be something more elegant. I also use the following method to get rid of archived wal files that are older than the oldest base backup I am keeping:

OLDESTFILE=$PITRBASEDIR/`ls -t $PITRBASEDIR | tail -1`/backup_label

if [ -f $OLDESTFILE ]; then
        /usr/bin/find $PITRDESTDIR -type f -not -newer $OLDESTFILE \
                -exec rm -f \{\} \;
fi

Your mileage may vary, but it appears to work for me.
