How to configure this in archive_command configuration parameter for pgbackrest conf. seems pgbackrest always asks for archive_mode =on but I assume in archive_commnad I can instruct to not use/generate the WAL files. I trieded archive_command="/bint/rue" but getting error. Any other suggestions ? thank you Isbella ^ permalink raw reply [nested|flat] 4+ messages in thread
