Hello...

This is what I have now: postgresql 8.0.1 - database weights about 60GB 
and increases about 2GB per week. Nowadays I do backup every day - 
according to simple procedure (pg_start_backup:rsync 
data:pg_stop_backup:save wals produced during backup). On 1Gb internal 
network it usually takes me about 1h to perform this procedure.

But what if my database has ~200GB and more (I know this is a future 
:D)? From my point of view it won't be good idea to copy entire database 
to backup array. I would like to here opinions about this case - what do 
you propose? Maybe some of you already do something like this?

Regards,
Marcin Giedz
