Re: Need help with PITR for PostgreSQL 9.4.5 - Mailing list pgsql-general

The version you are running is neither up-to-date for its major version (9.4) nor is the major version being supported.

Thoug a functioning backup is good to have before upgrading, especially major versions.

That is not possible.  Its unclear what exactly you mead/did though.  Consider sharing actual commands/scripts.

You cannot PITR if the WAL doesn’t match the base backup for the cluster you are trying to restore.

Or, probably better, consider using a third-party system.
