Correct, you can't use both of those at the same time. That can certainly be improved - but injecting a file into the tar from a different process is far from easy. But one idea might be to just stream the WAL into a *separate* tarfile in this case. -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
