Agreed. Monitoring an exclusive backup is very helpful. But I wonder why we want to monitor non-exclusive backup. Is there any use case? If we want to monitor non-exclusive backup, why not pg_dump backup? If there is no use case, it seems sufficient to implement the function which reports the information only about exclusive backup.
