what you have written above applies to oracle/db2 too. In case you are not
aware, during backup, those products have a mechanism to save the image
of any changing block as it existed before the start of the backup. that is
used
to reconstruct the PIT image of the block.

Anyhow looks like this can't be done in PG.

thanks all.
