Hello,

I'm currently involved in determing if PG 8.0 fulfill our
expectations and it is applicable to upgrade our current versions of Pg
7.4& 7.3 into 8.xx...
So far so good...
My problem right now is concerning about online
backup... According to manual, I'm supposed to set up
archive_command(archive_command='cp %p /path/%f'), start backup
(select pg_start_backup('label')), and stop backup (select
pg_start_backup())... Question is: does PG copy according to
archive_command by itself or I'm responsable to manually copy files?

Thks...
