Hi guys,
I've seen a lot of traffic around the developer lists about performing
live backups by duplicating the WAL control files, but no examples of this
actually working. I don't need instant fallback or any of the funky stuff
listed in the TODO file, but I need to build a database which is no less
than 10 minutes out of date. The source database has several gigabytes of
data in it, so a pg_dump isn't really good enough :-)
Has anybody managed this?
