It's possible to have multiple backups going concurrently. Presumably, this was from a different backup and that's why it wasn't picked up as being the end for this backup. You seem to have quite a few .backup files in your archive directory which would seem to support this. Not sure exactly what you're doing, but unless your goal is to spend a great deal of effort developing a PG backup solution, you're really better off using one of the existing solutions (eg: pg_basebackup or pgBackRest). If you are developing your own backup solution for PG, you definitely want to be using the new APIs and not using the exclusive backup method. Please review the current (15) documentation: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/continuous-archiving.html Thanks, Stephen
