Also, regarding needing to place an archiver command in
pg_start_backup_online, another option would be to depend on the
filesystem backup to copy the WAL files, and just let them pile up in
pg_xlog until pg_stop_backup_online. Of course, that would require a
two-step filesystem copy, since you'd need to first copy everything in
$PGDATA, and then copy $PGDATA/pg_xlog after you have that.
Sounds fine. This solves the problem to insure that all required wal files are actually copied to the wal archive.
