I was hoping some fiendish plans would be presented to me...
But please start with "this feels like typical usage" and we'll go from
there...the important thing is to try the first one.
I've not done power off tests, yet. They need to be done just to
check...actually you don't need to do this to test PITR...
We need to exhaustive tests of...
- power off
- scp and cross network copies
- all the permuted recovery options
- archive_mode = off (i.e. current behaviour)
- deliberately incorrectly set options (idiot-proof testing)
I'd love some help assembling a test document with numbered tests...
Best regards, Simon Riggs
