My next step will be to restart the server when a current process is done, but beyond that I'm kind of stuck and have a large backlog of WAL at this point, but where do I find a reference for this error code?

Exit code 25 is an assertion failure in pgbackrest, which should
generally be very rare. Even so though, the next thing to do is enable
increased logging in pgbackrest to see what's going on. Have you looked
for any existing logs (eg: /var/log/pgbackrest)..? What does your
pgbackrest.conf look like?

Thanks!
