Section 21.4 on this page (
https://pgbackrest.org/user-guide.html#introduction )  does seem to mention
the use of .pgpass file. I have no idea about the actual problem though.

Yes, postgres itself uses .pgpass so when you configure streaming
replication between two servers, something that is doable regardless of
using pgBackRest, the server-to-server connection can utilize .pgpass.

Thank you all for the great help ..

I couldn't get a chance to    Restart the DB Cluster after making the
changes highlighted.  Correct me if I am wrong (  production server, down
time requested.  ) after editing the     pg_hba.conf  on   DB server as
follows
local   all             all                                     trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
host    all             all             10.0.0.0/8              md5



# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 md5
# Allow replication connections from localhost, by a user with the
# replication privilege.
local   replication     all                                      peer
#local   replication     all                                     md5
host    replication     all             127.0.0.1/32            md5
host    replication     all             ::1/128                 md5
host    replication     all             10.0.0.0/8              md5
[root@db1 edb]#




But a work around  seems worked as follows :

[root@db1 edb]# cat .pgpass
*:*:replication:enterprisedb:my_password

changed to

[root@db1 edb]# cat .pgpass
*:*:*:enterprisedb:password


For those struggling with this issue    this may help ...

on the DB server's   enterprisedb user's  home directory ( Here it is
/var/lib/edb/  )

[root@db1 edb]# cat .pgpass
*:*:*:enterprisedb:password
[root@db1 edb]# ls -al .pgpass
-rw-------. 1 enterprisedb enterprisedb 28 Aug 29 09:26 .pgpass
[root@db1 edb]#


[root@db1 edb]# ls -al .pgpass
-rw-------. 1 enterprisedb enterprisedb 28 Aug 29 09:26 .pgpass
[root@db1 edb]#
