I was thinking:
1. noclobber copy to a local/mounted dir (the current example)
2. rsync to a remote dir with overwrite
3. windows command example (hopefully using rsync ... can anyone help
with this?)
4. Simple bash script example using rsync to a target server, with
noarchiving touch file etc.
I'd also like to mention pg_receivexlog, Barman, WAL-E, and RepMgr as
external utilites and alternatives.
