Re: pgbackrest with no PITR option configuraton

You also have a mis-spelling in the archive_command which I'm guessing is why it failed.  Needs to be:

archive_command="/bin/true"

Hi  List,

My requirement is to use pgbackrest for running full PG backups only  no need for PITR.

How to configure this in archive_command  configuration parameter for pgbackrest conf.

seems pgbackrest always asks for archive_mode =on but I assume in archive_commnad I can instruct to not use/generate  the WAL files. I trieded archive_command="/bint/rue" but getting error.

Any other suggestions ?

"PgBackrest without PITR" sounds like pg_basebackup.
