PostgreSQL Point-in-Time Recovery with pgBackRest

Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR) with pgBackRest eliminates data loss by replaying the write-ahead log on top of a base backup. This is crucial for databases processing thousands of transactions per minute. To enable PITR, check WAL archiving is enabled, verify backup freshness, and configure pgBackRest. If WAL archiving is off, PITR is impossible. Check for archiving failures and verify backup freshness regularly.
