Not sure what 'traditional zip method' means here, but if you've copied
the shell script out of the documentation, that's not a safe
configuration.

In configuration of pgbackrest, simply configure each of the PG hosts
and the repo and then set backup-standby=y.  You'll need to make sure
that the archive_command is set to pgbackrest, of course.  Having an
existing streaming replication setup is perfectly fine and pgbackrest
won't interfere with that.  You will want to set your restore command
to pgbackrest also though, in case streaming fails.

Thanks,
