To check if any file is missing, you can check directly with the WAL file names. Note that the format name of WAL files has changed a bit in 9.3 as they can end with FF. In 9.2 and prior versions, it finished at most with FE. This won't ensure that the content is safe though, so use one of the methods mentioned previously in this thread. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general

The only 100% safe way would be to restore them, e.g. with a standby database. PostgreSQL 9.3 will also have "xlogdump" which you can run on the WAL file. If that does not gag, the file is probably ok.
