+ <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.

+ 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'

+ 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.
