In your case, you have tablespace with no objects (empty tablespace) then backup_manifest does not have any entry for this hence when you remove this tablespace directory, validator could not detect it. We can either document it or add the entry for directories in the manifest. Robert may have a better idea on this. -- -- Thanks & Regards, Suraj kharage, EnterpriseDB Corporation, The Postgres Database Company.
