In looking at the docs, it seems it would go in the Backup section
somewhere:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/backup.html

Seems it would apply to both of these backup sections:

24.2. File System Level Backup
24.3. Continuous Archiving and Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR)

and also here:

25.2. Log-Shipping Standby Servers

It seems odd to put it in all of these places, but where can we
centrally put it?
