BaseBackupThrottle
Waiting during base backup when throttling activity.
Detailed Description​
A Base Backup is a physical copy of the database. This wait is seen while the backup is being throttled to preserve system resources. This is set using pg_basebackup -r ***rate*** or pg_basebackup --max-rate=***rate*** where the rate is kilobytes per second.
Progress of backups can be seen using the [pg_stat_basebackup_progress](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/progress-reporting.html#BASEBACKUP-PROGRESS-REPORTING) view.
How to reduce this wait​
This is a normal wait where backup throttling is enabled.
