Can you please elaborate a bit on the issue with existing
IsBackupHistoryFileName(), if there's any?

Also, the patch does have hard coded numbers [1] which isn't good from
a readability perspective, adding macros and/or comments would help
here.

[1]
 static inline bool
 IsBackupHistoryFileName(const char *fname)
 {
- return (strlen(fname) > XLOG_FNAME_LEN &&
+ return (strlen(fname) == XLOG_FNAME_LEN + 9 + strlen(".backup") &&
  strspn(fname, "0123456789ABCDEF") == XLOG_FNAME_LEN &&
- strcmp(fname + strlen(fname) - strlen(".backup"), ".backup") == 0);
+ strspn(fname + XLOG_FNAME_LEN + 1, "0123456789ABCDEF") == 8 &&
+ strcmp(fname + XLOG_FNAME_LEN + 9, ".backup") == 0);
 }
