PostgreSQL documentation on how continuous archiving works is clear, but
you need to follow exactly what it says and have a clear understanding
and how Postgres works.
In order to simplify the management of disaster recovery solutions for
PostgreSQL, we have recently developed and distributed an open source
project called Barman.
I am not sure whether you have looked at it or not. In this case, I
suggest you give it a go. More information at http://www.pgbarman.org/
It is also available as RPM and Debian/Ubuntu package and works from
PostgreSQL 8.4 onwards.
Barman takes care of backups, works remotely and assist DBAs during
recovery (both local to the backup server or remote).
Cheers,
Gabriele
