postgresql - Postgres restore from WAL files without having a basebackup using pg_basebackup -

-

i have following situation.

  • have master/replica setup.
  • somehow database dropped , new database same name created django. in case, wal files of previous database still there?
  • i have not created backup using of previous database using tool pg_basebackup, have wal files in pg_xlog.

now, trying following: - shutdown postgres server. - use recovery.conf file in pgdata (/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main) directory , entering following in there:

    restore_command = 'cp /var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_xlog_backup_jan072016/%f %p'     recovery_target_time = '2016-01-07 03:00:00'

- startup postgres server again.

what see in log file is:

postgres:~/9.3/main/pg_log$ tail -100f postgresql-2016-01-07_170256.log 2016-01-07 17:02:56 utc log:  database system shut down @ 2016-01-07 17:02:55 utc 2016-01-07 17:02:56 utc log:  starting point-in-time recovery 2016-01-06 00:00:00+00 cp: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_xlog_backup_jan072016/0000000a.history’: no such file or directory cp: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_xlog_backup_jan072016/0000000a00000000000000cc’: no such file or directory 2016-01-07 17:02:56 utc log:  consistent recovery state reached @ 0/cc000090 2016-01-07 17:02:56 utc log:  record 0 length @ 0/cc000090 2016-01-07 17:02:56 utc log:  redo not required 2016-01-07 17:02:56 utc log:  database system ready accept read connections cp: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_xlog_backup_jan072016/0000000a00000000000000cc’: no such file or directory cp: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_xlog_backup_jan072016/0000000b.history’: no such file or directory 2016-01-07 17:02:56 utc log:  selected new timeline id: 11 cp: cannot stat ‘/var/lib/postgresql/9.3/main/pg_xlog_backup_jan072016/0000000a.history’: no such file or directory 2016-01-07 17:02:57 utc log:  archive recovery complete 2016-01-07 17:02:57 utc log:  autovacuum launcher started 2016-01-07 17:02:57 utc log:  database system ready accept connections 2016-01-07 17:02:57 utc log:  incomplete startup packet

my pg_xlog_backup_jan072016 folder has foll content.:

the thing trying figure out is:

  • is possible restore wal without have backup pg_basebackup command? trying restore wal in existing postgres installation.
  • why log cannot find 0000000a.history , 0000000a00000000000000cc files? folder not contain such files.

can this? thanks. sarthak
