Oh… Thank you for your reply.

 

so there is ONLY roll forward !!

 

 

So If I have to go to any time backwards from NOW , I WILL DEFINITELY need a backup older than NOW and all the Logs Active/Archive inbetween.

 

Just a theoretical question to better my understanding. If I take a backup on Monday at 0100 Hours and never make any further Backups but hold on to all the Logs ( Active and Archive),

I could theoretically go to any PIT  between Monday 0100 Hours and NOW?

 

If I apply the base backup from Monday 0100 , how does Postgres know which Archive Logs need to be applied from it’s current state to get to the PIT.  Obviously when the basebackup was taken, the now needed logs did not exist. So this information cannot have been recorded during the backup.

 

 

 

There is no rolling back.  You deploy the base backup first to 0100 Monday, then it would apply the WAL up to the target time.

 

David J.
