I would hope that pg_stop_backup() will have a conditional ERROR message to say ERROR backup inconsistent and cannot be used for SR HINT increase wal_keep_segments or enable archiving for your base backup I think it would also be useful to add a NOTICE to pg_start_backup() NOTICE archiving is not enabled. If we reach exceed wal_keep_segments WAL files then the backup will be invalidated. Expected time for this to happen is X (using linear extrapolation of WAL creation rate since last checkpoint) -- Simon Riggs www.2ndQuadrant.com -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
