2025-07-07Standardize LSN formatting by zero paddingÁlvaro Herrera
This commit standardizes the output format for LSNs to ensure consistent representation across various tools and messages. Previously, LSNs were inconsistently printed as `%X/%X` in some contexts, while others used zero-padding. This often led to confusion when comparing. To address this, the LSN format is now uniformly set to `%X/%08X`, ensuring the lower 32-bit part is always zero-padded to eight hexadecimal digits.

2023-12-20Add support for incremental backup.Robert Haas
To take an incremental backup, you use the new replication command UPLOAD_MANIFEST to upload the manifest for the prior backup. This prior backup could either be a full backup or another incremental backup. You then use BASE_BACKUP with the INCREMENTAL option to take the backup. pg_basebackup now has an --incremental=PATH_TO_MANIFEST option to trigger this behavior. An incremental backup is like a regular full backup except that some relation files are replaced with files with names like INCREMENTAL.${ORIGINAL_NAME}, and the backup_label file contains additional lines identifying it as an incremental backup. The new pg_combinebackup tool can be used to reconstruct a data directory from a full backup and a series of incremental backups. Patch by me. Reviewed by Matthias van de Meent, Dilip Kumar, Jakub Wartak, Peter Eisentraut, and Álvaro Herrera. Thanks especially to Jakub for incredibly helpful and extensive testing.

2023-10-03Tidy-up some appendStringInfo*() usagesDavid Rowley
Make a few newish calls to appendStringInfo() which have no special formatting use appendStringInfoString() instead. Also, adjust usages of appendStringInfoString() which only append a string containing a single character to make use of appendStringInfoChar() instead. This makes the code marginally faster, but primarily this change is so we use the StringInfo type as it was intended to be used.

2022-09-27Remove dependency to StringInfo in xlogbackup.{c.h}Michael Paquier
This was used as the returned result type of the generated contents for the backup_label and backup history files. This is replaced by a simple string, reducing the cleanup burden of all the callers of build_backup_content().

2022-09-26Refactor creation of backup_label and backup history filesMichael Paquier
This change simplifies some of the logic related to the generation and creation of the backup_label and backup history files, which has become unnecessarily complicated since the removal of the exclusive backup mode in commit 39969e2. The code was previously generating the contents of these files as a string (start phase for the backup_label and stop phase for the backup history file), one problem being that the contents of the backup_label string were scanned to grab some of its internal contents at the stop phase. This commit changes the logic so as we store the data required to build these files in an intermediate structure named BackupState. The backup_label file and backup history file strings are generated when they are ready to be sent back to the client. Both files are now generated with the same code path. While on it, this commit renames some variables for clarity. Two new files named xlogbackup.{c,h} are introduced in this commit, to remove from xlog.c some of the logic around base backups. Note that more could be moved to this new set of files.
