This is not a bug, it is better to ask such questions in pgsql-general or
pgsql-novice.

like,
archive_command = 'copy "%p" "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\testdata\%f"'

I recall that the use of double backslash "\\" is necessary to indicate the
folder path, making the command look like that actually:
archive_command = 'copy "%p" "C:\\Program
Files\\PostgreSQL\\9.3\\testdata\\%f"'

then ran this query pg_stop_backup(); its return error like,

wait for wal segments to archive 60 seconds please check archive command..
following error retunrs

Without more details about the failure, we cannot guess what is happening?
Is it a permission issue? Does the target folder exist?
