Description:

Hello!
In "25.3.3.2. Making An Exclusive Low-Level Backup", you said that "The
exclusive backup method is deprecated and should be avoided. Prior to
PostgreSQL 9.6, this was the only low-level method available, but it is now
recommended that all users upgrade their scripts to use non-exclusive
backups". But in the example in "25.3.6.1. Standalone Hot Backups" you use
the exclusive version of backup command. Is it a mistake or not?
