Re: Can WAL files be shipped to multiple servers?

Thanks for the quick reply.

so if I switch target database from recovery mode to normal mode and do
pg_dump to backup, then switch it back to recovery mode.

Will it break the relationship between source and target? Do I need to
re-configure it in order to receive the WAL files?
