Greetings,

When we take backups from a synchronous standby replica, how can we get the 
accurate timestamp of the backup end time ? (As backup history files are not 
generated on standbys)
For example:
this is a part of control file after a backup (created using wal-g by calling 
pg_startbackup and pg_stopbackup),
Fake LSN counter for unlogged rels:   0/3E8
Minimum recovery ending location:     28/28000B68
Min recovery ending loc's timeline:   2
Backup start location:                0/0
Backup end location:                  0/0
End-of-backup record required:        no
here I can see that minimum recovery ending location as LSN value, how can we 
get the timestamp of it ?
The backup label file looks like this.
INFO: 2022/07/26 23:25:23.850621 ------------ LABLE FILE START ----------
INFO: 2022/07/26 23:25:23.850628 START WAL LOCATION: 1D/F94C7320 (file

How can we do PITR using timestamp if we don’t know the accurate timestamp of 
minimum recovery point ?







Thanks.
Best,
