Dear All,

Point in Time Recovery in the context of computers is a system whereby a set of data or a particular setting can be restored or recovered from a time in the past.

- Windows XP's feature of being able to restore operating system settings from a past date (before data corruption occurred, for example).
- PostgreSQL's feature of being able to view a database table and its data as it was at a particular date in the past.
- Also, Time Machine for Mac OS X is an example of Point-in-time recovery.
 
 In PostgreSQL, Write-ahead logging (WAL) must be enabled for a particular database, in order for PITR to be used on that database; any time after WAL is enabled for a database, that database may be restored to any later time.
