A simple scp leaves you vulnerable to a WAL file only being partially copied if a backhoe hits at just the right moment. I believe that wouldn't be an issue with rsync, since it won't put a file in place until it's completely transfered. So if you want to use scp, I think you'd need to scp to a temporary directory, and then do a final move. -- Jim C.
