I reboot PG because I found PG recovery end point if far away from the actual
end point of the XLOG on the backup directory, so I want to test if the
original DB is OK.
Unfortunately, I got the same PG log on the original DB. I don't unstand what
you said, I missing what?

This question really belongs on the pgsql-general list, not the -hackers
list.
If all you copied was the data directory then you haven't done this
right anyway. See
<http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP-TIPS>
Why did you reboot postgres after taking your backup?
