Not sure, but i think WAL based incremental backup is for the whole database cluster, and not for an specific database, so don't think this is going to work for you. Is yoor database too large? If not, you could stick to the old fashioned pg_dump output. On Wednesday 17 January 2007 10:23, Shoa

I believe the option for a "warm standby" (which sounds like it is what you need) was made available in 8.2.0. You'd have to look at the manual though, I haven't had time to investigate, and I'm not sure whether it's cluster-wide, or database-specific. Yogvinder Singh wrote: Hi Ppl, I have
