Hello.

On page:

Is is not clear should I do additional actions to restore basebackup first
and then WAL files (as described at p6)

This paragraph even more confusing:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-STANDALONE
> ... and no special action is required to restore the backup.
