and yes restore does restore - even though the host is with different pgsql' libs version, but it does not restore PITR. So I wonder now - perhaps PITR not working is not due to the "well-know" issue, maybe it was but it's not any more, but it's in my case due to the fact that pgsql server(16) and barman(13) use different pgsql versions - I'll tamper some more some day. thanks, L.
