The process for an exclusive backup is mostly the same as for a
non-exclusive one, but it differs in a few key steps. This type of
backup can only be taken on a primary and does not allow concurrent
backups. Moreover, because it writes a backup_label file on the
master, it can cause the master to fail to restart automatically after
a crash. On the other hand, the erroneous removal of a backup_label
file from a backup or standby is a common mistake which can result
backups. Moreover, because it creates a backup label file, as
described below, it can block automatic restart of the master server
after a crash. On the other hand, the erroneous removal of this
file from a backup or standby is a common mistake, which can result
in serious data corruption. If it is necessary to use this method,
the following steps may be used.
