Thanks.

There are no examples.  I can be any command you want, like 'COPY'.

Hello

In my environment,archive_command works fine with this command.

archive_command = 'COPY %p C:\\Program
Files\\PostgreSQL\\8.4\\data\\archive\\%f'

(Is this what you want to know?)

The document recommends a command as below:

archive_command = 'test ! -f /var/lib/pgsql/backup_in_progress || cp
-i %p /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f < /dev/null'

How can this be done using windows batch? I tried the following
command, but it did not work:

archive_command = 'if not exist C:\\pgsql\\backup_in_progress || copy
%p C:\\pgsqlarchive\\%f'

The error is:

|| was unexpected at this time.

Thanks.

windows does not support OR in batch files.
if you remove || it should work....

You want to take "standalone hot backup" instead of normal one? If not,
you don't need to check the file "backup_in_progress".
