Hello, 

once again I have a strange problem. We have set up a PostgreSQL backup and wanted to create an initial full backup. Data was transferred and everything looked good so far. However, at 88% the job stops. Under Log for the Job I only get this information.

Has anyone encountered this problem before and could it be solved ? We have already reinstalled the agent but again without success. Our database admins don't have a solution either.

with kind regards

Hello Thomas,

 

We may see this hang when log archival doesn’t work properly. Can you please verify log archival is fine by running the following queries:

 

select pg_start_backup(‘Testing’);
select pg_stop_backup();

 

These should complete fine and you should see the transaction logs archived to WAL directory when second query completes. If second query hangs, archive_command in postgresql.conf need to checked and user, write permissions to it need to be checked.

 

Regards,

Meera
