These are taken without affecting other clients to the database, and can be used both for point-in-time recovery (see <A HREF="continuous-archiving.html" >Section 24.3</A >) and as the starting point for a log shipping or streaming replication standby servers (see <A HREF="warm-standby.html" >Section 25.2</A >). </P ><P > <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >pg_basebackup</SPAN > makes a binary copy of the database cluster files, while making sure the system is put in and out of backup mode automatically. Backups are always taken of the entire database cluster; it is not possible to back up individual databases or database objects. For individual database backups, a tool such as <A HREF="app-pgdump.html" >pg_dump</A > must be used. </P ><P > The backup is made over a regular <SPAN CLASS="PRODUCTNAME" >PostgreSQL</SPAN > connection, and uses the replication protocol. The connection must be made with a superuser or a user having <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >REPLICATION</TT > permissions (see <A HREF="role-attributes.html" >Section 20.2</A >), and <TT CLASS="FILENAME" >pg_hba.conf</TT > must explicitly permit the replication connection. The server must also be configured with <A HREF="runtime-config-replication.html#GUC-MAX-WAL-SENDERS" >max_wal_senders</A > set high enough to leave at least one session available for the backup. </P ><P > There can be multiple <TT CLASS="COMMAND" >pg_basebackup</TT >s running at the same time, but it is better from a performance point of view to take only one backup, and copy the result. </P ><P > <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >pg_basebackup</SPAN > can make a base backup from not only the master but also the standby. To take a backup from the standby, set up the standby so that it can accept replication connections (that is, set <TT CLASS="VARNAME" >max_wal_senders</TT > and <A HREF="runtime-config-replication.html#GUC-HOT-STANDBY" >hot_standby</A >, and configure <A HREF="auth-pg-hba-conf.html" >host-based authentication</A >). You will also need to enable <A HREF="runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-FULL-PAGE-WRITES" >full_page_writes</A > on the master. </P ><P > Note that there are some limitations in an online backup from the standby: <P ></P ></P><UL ><LI ><P > The backup history file is not created in the database cluster backed up. </P ></LI ><LI ><P > There is no guarantee that all WAL files required for the backup are archived at the end of backup. If you are planning to use the backup for an archive recovery and want to ensure that all required files are available at that moment, you need to include them into the backup by using the <TT CLASS="LITERAL" >-x</TT > option. </P ></LI ><LI ><P > If the standby is promoted to the master during online backup, the backup fails. </P ></LI ><LI ><P > All WAL records required for the backup must contain sufficient full-page writes, which requires you to enable <TT CLASS="VARNAME" >full_page_writes</TT > on the master and not to use a tool like <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >pg_compresslog</SPAN > as <TT CLASS="VARNAME" >archive_command</TT > to remove full-page writes from WAL files. </P ></LI ></UL ><P> </P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="REFSECT1" ><A NAME="AEN81700" ></A ><H2 >Options</H2 ><P > The following command-line options control the location and format of the output. <P ></P ></P><DIV CLASS="VARIABLELIST" ><DL ><DT ><TT CLASS="OPTION" >-D <TT CLASS="REPLACEABLE" ><I >directory</I ></TT ></TT ><BR><TT CLASS="OPTION" >--pgdata=<TT CLASS="REPLACEABLE" ><I >directory</I ></TT ></TT ></DT ><DD ><P > Directory to write the output to. <SPAN CLASS="APPLICATION" >pg_basebackup</SPAN > will create the directory and any parent directories if necessary.
