To check if any file is missing, you can check directly with the WAL
file names. Note that the format name of WAL files has changed a bit
in 9.3 as they can end with FF. In 9.2 and prior versions, it finished
at most with FE. This won't ensure that the content is safe though, so
use one of the methods mentioned previously in this thread.
