Hello,
Thanks for advice/suggestions on PITR so far.
We have finally decided to do weekly PITR base backups. Just have one
nagging question.
== week 1==-
* pg_start_backup()
* tar -cvzf basebackup_week1.tar.gz pgdata/
* pg_stop_backup()
cp WAL1 week1/wal/
..
cp WAL2 week1/wal/
==*==
Week 1,
pg_start_backup will flush old transactions, thus you have full DB backup.
Unless you want them archived, no need to keep them
Regards,
Bohdan

During week 2, after the base backup, can we remove week 1's base and WAL
files?
