What usage could I give to this restored database? May I use it as a master in case the master died? In that case I think a failover to the running slave would be faster.
Well, it's a backup - no more and no less. The whole point of Slony (or any replication system) is that you have a nearly-up-to-date copy of your database to which you can failover if the master goes belly-up. A backup is always going to be less current than a well-running Slony slave.
What should I do to use it in a non-replicated environment? A staging environment, for example for testing purposes where I need production-like data.
That's what I do; as well as keeping a copy as a backup, of course. :-) Ray. --------------------------------------------------------------- Raymond O'Donnell, Director of Music, Galway Cathedral, Ireland [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Slony1-general mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slony.info/mailman/listinfo/slony1-general
