[ADMIN] PITR question with base backup

2008-10-21 Thread Scott Whitney
I'm in the process of testing PITR recovery, and I have an issue. My "data" directory is 30GB. Not huge, but it certainly takes awhile to tar up. My understanding is: a) pg_start_backup b) tar up c) pg_stop_backup d) restore tar file The problem is that I create databases pretty regularly. Let's
