Hi all,
I am fairly new to postgres admin so please bear with me.
I am looking for a way to create a consitent EC2 snapshot of a postgres DB that is running in a Debian Lenny instance, XFS file system on a EBS . I was following Eric Hammons posts http://ec2ebs-mysql.notlong.com/ http://alestic.com/2009/09/ec2-consistent-snapshot on creating Snapshost for MySQL and would like to port his efforts to Postgres.
I am really looking just for some documentation of this whole area since I am sitting here a bit in the blue ;) (e.g. I heard of LVM but do not know it and not sure if this is the way to go)
Thanks a bunch! Ben
