Point in time recovery - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hello,

1) I know that PostgreSQL writes its transactions to logs (WAL).

If I take exports once a day (say 7am) and I have a client that somehow
ruins their database at 5pm today and it is now 7pm, can I somehow get the
database back to the state it was in at 4:59 (right before they blew up
their database)?



2) Where are the WAL files located?



Thank you!
