I was reading the documentation for pg_basebackup and it states that
resulting backups "can be used both for point-in-time recovery and as the
starting point for a log shipping or streaming replication standby servers".
Should pg_basebackup also be used for "regular" backups, or only for
PITR/streaming replication?
It's for "regular backups", based off PITR.
I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "based off PITR". Do I
need PITR enabled in order to use pg_basebackup, or do you mean that I
won't lose the ability to use PITR after restoring from a backup created
with pg_basebackup, or do you mean something else?
