[ADMIN] pg_basebackup over slowed connection , slowed out of proportion

2012-12-17 Thread Jay Newman
I have set up a PG9.2 database slightly over 110 GB in size. In addition to the master server, I have 2 servers running as active standby nodes. When I run pg_basebackup to set up the standby servers, it completes in about 60 minutes - which is okay for my needs. However, I also need to set up anot

Do the pg_dump/pg_dumpall utility programs generate any return codes that I could analyze to determine the success or failure of the PostgreSQL database backups? It would seem logical that they should. Please advise, and point me to a piece of doc that might be of help if it exists. Thanks in

Keep in mind, this program worked correctly with version 6.2, and all of my other programs work as they should still. My question: Can anybody spot my problem right off? If not, what code should I use to report the actual error message generated by the backend (as opposed to just detecting that an error has occured as I do now)?. Thanks, Jay Summet
