Hello,
I'm interested in the "incrementally updated backups" scenario
described in section 25.6 of the Postgres 9 documentation. I've
configured streaming replication for my warm standby server.
Step 2 in this procedure is to note pg_last_xlog_replay_location at
the end of the backup. However it seems like this requires hot standby
to be configured; otherwise there is no way of connecting to the
standby machine to make the required query. That does not seem clear
from the documentation. Is there a way to get this without using hot
standby?
Thanks
Gabe
