PITR config is complicated. A lot of manual steps are required.
Requires postgresql.conf file changing, server re-start, creating PITR
directory and adding postgres user privilege to it, file copying.
PITR recovery is also complicated.
My goal is to create ERP system which creates backups without any
attendance.
I don'nt know how to automate this 100% and havent found any such sample.
So I'm waiting when this is automated like 8.2 automates user privilege
dropping and use pg_dump in current installations.
