Re: Postgres Point in time Recovery (PITR),

Exactly,

in our environment, we have a full backup of directory PGDATA and every 15
minutes we do archival backup where there are archival file.

So we can restore in a specific time. Before the archival backup we forced
switch wal file to generate archival file so we don't lost any transaction.
