Also, regarding needing to place an archiver command in pg_start_backup_online, another option would be to depend on the filesystem backup to copy the WAL files, and just let them pile up in pg_xlog until pg_stop_backup_online. Of course, that would require a two-step filesystem copy, since you'd need to first copy everything in $PGDATA, and then copy $PGDATA/pg_xlog after you have that.
Sounds fine. This solves the problem to insure that all required wal files are actually copied to the wal archive.
