This is not a bug report. Please use "pgsql-general(at)lists(dot)postgresql(dot)org"
for usage assistance requests. Stating your version and describing what
kinds of backups you are performing are necessary for help on this topic.

If you have limited drive space the choice of 80 for "wal_keep_segments" in
not advisable - though it is only a minimum and if your backup routine is
not working properly the behavior you are seeing can result.
