If archive storage size is a concern, you can use
<application>gzip</application> to compress the archive files:
<programlisting>
archive_command = 'gzip &lt; %p &gt; /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f'
</programlisting>
You will then need to use <application>gunzip</> during recovery:
<programlisting>
restore_command = 'gunzip &lt; /mnt/server/archivedir/%f &gt; %p'
</programlisting>
