Description:

Hi everyone,

I've been trying out saving and restoring compressed archive logs. The
restore_command stated in the docs at "25.3.6.2. Compressed Archive Logs"
('gunzip < /mnt/server/archivedir/%f > %p') did not work for me, because the
archive_command ('gzip < %p > /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f') alters the
filename to %f.gz
I had to change the restore_command to 'gunzip <
/mnt/server/archivedir/%f.gz > %p'.

Phil
