[ADMIN] Hot backup for postgres 8.4

2012-06-12 Thread Amador Alvarez
Hi there, I have been looking for a good solution to backup a postgresql 8.4 database server (not pg_dump) and the only options that it seems that I have are either a Omnipitr or a custom-coded solution. I am a little bit afraid about setting up omipitr in production for archiving & backup, e

Hello! I already searched in the archives for similar problems but didn't find any. I want to have a hot backup server of my master server's database. I am using NetBSD 3.0.1 with Postgresql 8.2.3. It works so far, that I receive the WAL Files on the slave every few minutes from the master. I ha
