Hi
I am a newbie to postgres. We are on postgres 9.1 running on RedHat 6. When we do the postgres backups we are noticing the following errors
pg_basebackup: could not get WAL end position from server: FATAL: requested WAL segment 000000010000020B00000040 has already been removed
But when I look into pg_xlog, I notice
000000010000020B00000040.00000118.backup
May I know how to resolve this error? Are the backups done with these errors, recoverable?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Thanx,
Sam
