, but still some questions on my side :)

1. I wiped out the data dir on standby and modified configuration in 
files backed up from master - I believe I had to it, to configure it as 
standby.

2. Now I would like to connect to standby to see myself if it 
replicates, but when I run pgadminIII and try to connect to standby I got:

2010-09-29 14:55:05 CEST FATAL:  could not open file "global/11601": No 
such file or directory

And I can't connect to standby database. I know it's because I wiped out 
/data folder - how can I connect to standby then? Even if I can believe 
it's replicating at the moment, when the master is down then I need 
access to standby.

Regards,
Michal
