    I'm rebuilding the standby server for two days already, with 23% of
    completion status...
    If lost the database and backups because of that failure, it would
    be a giant disaster.
    Few hours checking integrity would be acceptable... Specially if I
    can run it on standby only.


very simple check

pgdumpall > /dev/null

but this doesn't check indexes.

pgBackRest will validate all page checksums (including indexes, etc.) in 
the cluster during backup.  Full backups check everything, 
incr/differential backups check only the files that have changed.
