I think that the type of your user is different from mine. If server fails by simple termination of process, I don't want to spend 1min for restarting other than catching up itself. For me, getting a fresh backup (not only copying backup data but also checkpoint by pg_start_backup) is expensive operation. Of course, since I'm not planning to tackle that problem in 8.4, I would not add "additional" synchronization point.
