I have primary and stand by setup in that customer using wal_keep_segment
very low number and database size were also high so that cilent asking with
me in order use pgbase backup can't we use rsyn

Here my question is if the wal is is presented on primary and not in
standby then rsync will work but if the wal files were missed at primary if
I am using rsync to the db will be work here please explain me

Not really following what's being asked here, but one thing that I can
certainly say is that rsync, by itself, is not an acceptable solution
for performing online backups of PostgreSQL.

I'd strongly suggest you continue to use pg_basebackup or look into a
more advanced tool like pgBackRest if you need a backup solution for
PostgreSQL.

Thanks,
