I agree, with pgBackRest it's basically: pgbackrest --stanza=demo
--delta --type=time "--target=2025-05-05 15:37:03.157376+00"
--target-action=promote restore
and you are done. It will also restore configure files and you can also
selectively restore only one DB in the cluster if you want to speed up
things. Works very well with S3 too and is very easy to integrate in an
ansible playbook to have a generic way to do PITRs.
