Hi

some czech user reported a broken database when he used a repair point on
Microsoft Windows.

The reply from Microsoft was, so it is not a Microsoft issue, but Postgres
issue, because Postgres doesn't handle VSS process correctly, and then
restore point can restore some parts of Postgres's data too.

Regards

Pavel
