I just tried it with 9.3.5 and I do get an error: LOG: starting point-in-time recovery to 2015-03-23 17:26:02.721307-04 LOG: restored log file "000000010000000000000003" from archive LOG: redo starts at 0/30000C8 LOG: recovery stopping before commit of transaction 1001, time 2015-03-23 18:26:01.012593-04 LOG: redo done at 0/3000228 FATAL: requested recovery stop point is before consistent recovery point Here's my recovery.conf file: restore_command = '/usr/bin/pg_backrest.pl --stanza=db archive-get %f "%p"' recovery_target_time = '2015-03-23 17:26:02.721307 EDT' > recovery.conf file is as follows : > > restore_command='cp /data/pgdata9400backup/pgwalarch9400backup/%f %p ' > recovery_target_time='2015-03-23 10:00:26 GMT-10' > recovery_target_inclusive='true' You have '2015-03-23 10:00:26 GMT-10' in recovery.conf but the log says 'starting point-in-time recovery to 2015-03-23 10:00:26+10'. Note the - vs +. Could you check your log and recovery.conf and make sure the timezone offsets are actually different? -- - David Steele da...@pgmasters.net
