Wait a minute... tar is throwing the errors, not pg_basebackup, no?

1. What's in $PATH_FOLDER?

/tnt/backup/current

2. What pg_basebackup command did you use?

pg_basebackup -D "$baseback_dir" --format=tar   \
                "${comp_opts[@]}" --wal-method=stream --no-password --verbose "${PG_DUMP_OPTS[@]}"
 
        /bin/mv "$baseback_dir"/* "/enf/backup/current/"
        /bin/rm -r "$baseback_dir"

3. Why aren't you letting pg_basebackup maintain the WAL files it needs?

You need to tell us the PG version number and show us the full command you ran. ?

Postgresql Version 14.10

tar -h  -zxvf   $PATH_FOLDER/*  .tar.gz

ls $PATH_FOLDER/*.tar.gz | xargs -I  {} tar -h  -zxvf  {}

What user are you running pg_basebackup as?

I ran it as postgres and now I'm restoring as postgres

/tnt???  Or /mnt?

/tnt/backup/current

This is where the backup files are.
