Re: Postgresql 17 incremental backup

Have you read what I said inline? Doesn't look like you did, so I'll copy

I've tried your command line, and I have the same error. The minus sign is
not the good one. Try (by copy/paste):

pg_basebackup -c fast -P -D
/var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/viernes --incremental
/var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/base_plano/backup_manifest
