When I setup the physical backup with one of the tools you specified, will that recover the /pgindexes & /pgtablespaces ?
Thanks,

Now I setup up full backup using pgdump and WAL logs (for PITR).
During the recovery will the pgdump recovers /pgtablespaces and /pgindexes as well ?
I want to understand how to take backup in this scenario so I should be able to do a full PITR.
Hi,
pg_dump is a logical backup. You can't apply WAL on top of it. You can't PITR out of a logical dump. To do that, you need a physical backup (look at pg_basebackup, pg_barman, pg_backrest or pg_probackup) to be able to apply WALs. You'll find more informations in [that](https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/backup.html) documentation page
Have a nice day,
Lætitia
