This mode is not actually necessary if we consider that the core of
pg_rman is the obtention of differential and full backups, the server
being afterwards in charge to recover necessary WAL segments from the
archive.
Regression tests and documentation are updated in accordance to the
changes.
In order to keep only the core of pg_rman for incremental/differential
backup, this looks necessary and makes the code more simple. Including
server log files in a backup could be subject to discussion as well,
as for example a Postgres base backup does not include them, just
because in this case server instance is not aware of the log files.
Diffs were generated because of wc that puts some spaces before the
output which is in this case a number of lines. This does not impact
regression tests on Linux/Unix.
The documentation found on internet is rather unclear about the role
and the goal of this feature, which looks more like a kludge to cover
the fact that most of the system XLOG functions do not work on standby
nodes. Now that this restriction has been removed by using the control
file to look for the current timestamp, this feature is not needed.
Use --standby-host and --standby-port, if backup is getting from standby.
- Add --hard-copy restore option.
The option can be used to copy archive WAL to archive directory instead of symlink.
