POSTGRESQL 12: pg_basebackup não está copiando postgresql.conf e pg_hba.conf do master para o standby

Estou definindo uma arquitetura mestre-escravo e fiz as seguintes etapas até agora:

no mestre:

CREATE USER replicator WITH REPLICATION ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'replicator';

theowl@postgresql:/etc/postgresql/12/main$ sudo vi pg_hba.conf
host    replication     replicator      192.168.56.8/24         md5

sudo systemctl restart  postgresql

em espera:

theowl@postgresql:/etc/postgresql/12/main$ sudo systemctl stop postgresql
postgres@postgresql:/etc/postgresql/12/main$ ls -ltr
total 0

pg_basebackup -h 192.168.56.7 -U replicator -p 5432 -D /etc/postgresql/12/main/ -Fp -Xs -P -R
postgres@postgresql:/etc/postgresql/12/main$ pg_basebackup -h 192.168.56.7 -U replicator -p 5432 -D /etc/postgresql/12/main/ -Fp -Xs -P -R
