Right now there is no PIT recovery. All you can do is run pg_dump
whenever you want to make a backup. This will take a consistent
snapshot of the database and write it out as SQL code that will
recreate the database..
There has been talk of using the new WAL (write-ahead log) feature to
enable point-in-time recovery, but it is not currently implemented.
