Thanks, Guillaume. Can anyone confirm his answer to the question below
about restarting the backup postmaster?
It seems counter-intuitive since the backup server is only waiting for
new WAL files to restore, it would seem it could be killed and restarted
at any time and it should just recover as it has been all along. I can
see if I end recovery mode this would be the case, but can't the
recovery postmaster be killed without having it leave recovery mode?
Can I shutdown Server B (backup/recovery postmaster) simply by
killing the postmaster and restart it back in recovery mode to
continue re-syncing where it left off? Or does stopping Server B
while in recovery mode require any manual re-sync steps before it can
resume recovery?
I think you'll need to redo the whole process : restore the full data
backup, create the recovery.conf file, etc.
