Postgresql replication not starting after running pg_basebackup

Howdy,

I am trying to create a hot_standby server, and I receive the following
error after pg_basebackup completes. Can anyone give me some insight?

My specs:
Debian Wheezy 7.6
Postgresql 9.3
Database size: ~115GB

postgres(at)database-master:/etc/postgresql/9.3/main$ sh replicator.sh
Stopping PostgreSQL
[ ok ] Stopping PostgreSQL 9.3 database server: main.
Cleaning up old cluster directory
Starting base backup as replicator
Password:

113720266/113720266 kB (100%), 1/1 tablespace

NOTICE: WAL archiving is not enabled; you must ensure that all required WAL
segments are copied through other means to complete the backup
