archive_co= mmand=3D"/bin/true"
=C2=A0

Hi=C2=A0 List,

My requirement is to use pgbackrest for running full PG backups only=C2= =A0 no need for PITR.

How to configure this in archive_command=C2=A0 configuration parameter f= or pgbackrest conf.

seems pgbackrest always asks for archive_mode =3Don but I assume in arch= ive_commnad I can instruct to not use/generate=C2=A0 the WAL files. I tried= ed archive_command=3D"/bint/rue" but getting error.

Any other suggestions ?



"PgBackrest without PITR" sounds like pg_baseba= ckup.

-- =
Death to &l= t;Redacted>, and butter sauce.
Don't boil me, I'm still aliv= e.
<Redacted> lobster!
