 Hello,

 We are facing?difficulty?in PITR.

 Case :

 Production server backups are happening every day at 12:00AM mid night and we 
 are refreshing Test server with the
 backup and applying wal?archives up to?10:00AM.

 Issue:

 While?transferring?wal archives from Production to Test 
 server,?unfortunately?missing few wal archives,Due to this
 while doing ?PITR database is opening before 
 reaching/satisfying?recovery_target_time?mentioned in recovery conf file.

 Question: Is there any way we can stop/Pause PITR and get message ?if any wal 
 archives got missed before reaching ?
 recovery_target_time mentioned in recovery.conf file?.

Consider using pg_standby which will wait for a missing WAL rather
than using plain cp.

Your instance will come up if time target is reached else sit there
spinning while you figure out where the missing WALs are and move them
into place.

HTH

 Thanks in advance.Any?suggestions?would be?appreciated.

 Regards,
 Chiru
