<code class="filename">basic_archive</code> is an example of an archive module. This
module copies completed WAL segment files to the specified directory. This
may not be especially useful, but it can serve as a starting point for
developing your own archive module. For more information about archive
modules, see <a class="xref" href="archive-modules.html" title="Chapter 51. Archive Modules">Chapter 51</a>.
</p><p>
In order to function, this module must be loaded via
<a class="xref" href="runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-ARCHIVE-LIBRARY">archive_library</a>, and <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-ARCHIVE-MODE">archive_mode</a>
must be enabled.

</span></dt><dd><p>
The directory where the server should copy WAL segment files. This
directory must already exist. The default is an empty string, which
effectively halts WAL archiving, but if <a class="xref" href="runtime-config-wal.html#GUC-ARCHIVE-MODE">archive_mode</a>
is enabled, the server will accumulate WAL segment files in the
expectation that a value will soon be provided.
</p></dd></dl></div><p>
These parameters must be set in <code class="filename">postgresql.conf</code>.
Typical usage might be:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
# postgresql.conf
archive_mode = 'on'
archive_library = 'basic_archive'
basic_archive.archive_directory = '/path/to/archive/directory'
</pre></div><div class="sect2" id="id-1.11.7.15.6"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">F.6.2. Notes</h3></div></div></div><p>
Server crashes may leave temporary files with the prefix
<code class="filename">archtemp</code> in the archive directory. It is recommended to
delete such files before restarting the server after a crash. It is safe to
remove such files while the server is running as long as they are unrelated
to any archiving still in progress, but users should use extra caution when
doing so.
