Hi,
I went through
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/continuous-archiving.html
and set up the archiving process. With this approach, if my database
crashes after a couple of weeks after the base backup is taken, recovering
would mean replaying the WAL logs for about 2 weeks, right? To avoid that,
what is the standard process followed - take a base backup every day or
once a week?
Regards,
Jayadevan
