If archive storage size is a concern, use <application>pg_compresslog</>,
<ulink url="http://pglesslog.projects.postgresql.org"></ulink>, to
remove unnecessary <xref linkend="guc-full-page-writes"> and trailing
space from the WAL files. You can then use
<application>gzip</application> to further compress the output of
<application>pg_compresslog</>:
<programlisting>
archive_command = 'pg_compresslog %p - | gzip &gt; /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f'
</programlisting>
You will then need to use <application>gunzip</> and
<application>pg_decompresslog</> during recovery:
<programlisting>
restore_command = 'gunzip &lt; /mnt/server/archivedir/%f | pg_decompresslog - %p'
</programlisting>
