Hi,

pg_dump is a logical backup. You can't apply WAL on top of it. You can't
PITR out of a logical dump. To do that, you need a physical backup (look at
pg_basebackup, pg_barman, pg_backrest or pg_probackup) to be able to apply
WALs. You'll find more informations in [that](
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/backup.html) documentation page

Have a nice day,

Lætitia
