* pgsql: Document restrictions regarding incremental backups and standbys @ 2024-07-25 20:11 Robert Haas <rhaas@postgresql.org> 0 siblings, 0 replies; 2+ messages in thread From: Robert Haas @ 2024-07-25 20:11 UTC (permalink / raw) To: pgsql-committers@lists.postgresql.org Document restrictions regarding incremental backups and standbys. If you try to take an incremental backup on a standby and there hasn't been much system activity, it might fail. Document why this happens. Also add a hint to the error message you get, to make it more likely that users will understand what has gone wrong.
