I was reading the documentation for pg_basebackup and it states that
resulting backups "can be used both for point-in-time recovery and as
the starting point for a log shipping or streaming replication standby
servers".

Should pg_basebackup also be used for "regular" backups, or only for
PITR/streaming replication?
