Having run a basebackup, I'm getting this output at the very end:

pg_basebackup: child process exited with error 1
pg_basebackup: removing contents of data directory "/mnt/base_backup/dir/"

Is there a way to get more information as to what exactly happened?

I'd like to look into fixing this or doing whatever is required so that it
doesn't happen again, but this just isn't enough info. Where do I start
looking?

Regards,
Koen De Groote
