> As per docs, if the databases are rarely updated it could take a long > time for the WAL segment to "roll over". Yes, therefore I want to copy the current WAL (as I said earlier). When restoring, I also want to make sure that I restore exactely to the point when I copied the current WA segment.
Hence I consider to do it as follows: 1) take the t = current time 2) copy the current WAL 3) when restoring, set recovery_target_time = t Maybe there is even a way to ask Postgres of its last commited x = xid. In that case, we could set recovery_target_xid = x Is that possible?
