32/64 architectures for backup/WALs

I saw a posting about not being able to backup/WALs on different
architectures for 8.0.6. Is this still true for the current release?

I don't understand what you are asking. You certainly can store the
backup/WAL files on any architecture you want, but you have to restore
to the same architecture you used to create the files.

This is the same behaviour as Oracle does. AFAIK they can't replicate
between 32 bit and 64 bit . So Don, what you wrote is still true.
