Re: Postgresql 17 incremental backup

Ups, thanks for the warning

Hi Guillaume, thanks for the answer.

I've tried with -i and --incremental , and the results are the same. In
both cases without "="

[postgres(at)buda viernes]$ 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

pg_basebackup: error: demasiados argumentos en la línea de órdenes (el
primero es «–-incremental»)
pg_basebackup: consejo: Pruebe «pg_basebackup --help» para mayor
información.

[postgres(at)buda viernes]$ pg_basebackup -c fast -P -D
/var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/viernes –i
/var/lib/pgsql/17/backups/devadv01/fisicos/base_plano/backup_manifest
pg_basebackup: error: demasiados argumentos en la línea de órdenes (el
primero es «–i»)
pg_basebackup: consejo: Pruebe «pg_basebackup --help» para mayor
información.

regards

MF
