The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Description:

Hello.

On page:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-PITR-RECOVERY
Is is not clear should I do additional actions to restore basebackup first
and then WAL files (as described at p6)

This paragraph even more confusing:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-STANDALONE
> ... and no special action is required to restore the backup.
Should I configure restore_command at least?

Thank you.
