Dear Tina,

I'll investigate the problem.

Could you please provide the following information?
 - What mode are you using pgpool in? (master-slave/replication)
 - pgpool.conf, pgpool_remote_start script, recovery scripts
 - Sample of queries and table definition?

It displays “FATAL: WAL ends before end of online backup. HINT: Online backup started with pg_start_backup() must be ended with pg_stop_backup(), and all WAL up to that point must be available at recovery.”
