Related to this and Stephen's comment about testing... ISTM it would be very useful to have a published suite of tests
forPITR backups, perhaps even utilizing special techniques in Postgres to expose potential failure conditions.
Similarly,it'd also be nice to have a suite of tests you could run to validate a backup that you've restored.
