I'd suggest, a similar solution to the one we have adopted in Barman (if
you don't know it: www.pgbarman.org), that is:

--tablespace NAME:LOCATION [--tablespace NAME:location]

I prefer this over the location on the master as this might change over
time (at least more frequently than the tablespace name) and over servers.

With the above example, it would become:

$ pg_basebackup -Xs -D backup/data -T tblspc1:$(pwd)/backup/t1 -T
tblspc2:$(pwd)/backup/t2

Thanks,
