It is hard to say what exactly happened, since I don't know your exact setup,
but very likely a standby server got promoted, started a new timeline 8 and
archived the corresponding history file. But somehow the rest of the cluster
didn't follow that promotion. Now upon every restore attempt, the history
file gets fetched from the WAL archive and causes confusion.
