I've written tests to show the rsync vulnerability and another to show that this can affect a running database. However, to reproduce it reliably you need to force a checkpoint or have them happening pretty close together.
Related to this and Stephen's comment about testing... ISTM it would be very useful to have a published suite of tests for PITR backups, perhaps even utilizing special techniques in Postgres to expose potential failure conditions. Similarly, it'd also be nice to have a suite of tests you could run to validate a backup that you've restored. -- Jim Nasby, Data Architect, Blue Treble Consulting Data in Trouble?
