Re: WAL files backup

What do you mean by indentical here? does it mean that they are same in size, if that is true then yes they should be same in size unless you specify archive_timeout (8.2 config parameter) setting to do a log switch after certain amount of time.

hi there

I lightly read this
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/backup-online.html

and am interested in creating an incremental backup of
WAL files, but my database is small so each of this
WAL files must be almost identical to the previous
one.

Is there a way to incrementally backup so that it
takes less space?

thanks!
