962962 The process for an exclusive backup is mostly the same as for a
963963 non-exclusive one, but it differs in a few key steps. This type of
964964 backup can only be taken on a primary and does not allow concurrent
965- backups. Moreover, because it writes a backup_label file on the
966- master , it can cause the master to fail to restart automatically after
967- a crash. On the other hand, the erroneous removal of a backup_label
968- file from a backup or standby is a common mistake which can result
965+ backups. Moreover, because it creates a backup label file, as
966+ described below , it can block automatic restart of the master server
967+ after a crash. On the other hand, the erroneous removal of this
968+ file from a backup or standby is a common mistake, which can result
969969 in serious data corruption. If it is necessary to use this method,
970970 the following steps may be used.
