Last month a hard disk failed and I had to recover the backup from my barman server. But we've lost near 15 minutes of transactions, and since this server is responsible for the bank payments 15 minutes of lost transactions is too much. I want to know what was the problem here and how can I fix it to prevent this data loss next time? I think the wal files that postgresql were writing on took more than 15 minutes at the time to finish. -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.nabble.com/Decreasing-the-data-loss-after-failover-tp5852659.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - admin mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
