Hello folks,
This patch adds support for reading last modification timestamp for a particular backup from its metadata.
I've encountered a situation just like in wal-g/wal-g#1770: sometimes
wal-g backup-listreports wrong last modification timestamp, which breaks the whole point-in-time recovery process.Luckily, WAL-G has an option (
wal-g backup-list --detail) to read some additional information for the given backup from its metadata, including the needed timestamp.I've already tested the added functionality on a real PostgreSQL cluster at work and it does fix the problem. Let me know, however, if you think that some additional tests should be added.
Thanks.
