I got your point, again I've another simple question which I still don't
understand clearly. Can I set my "archive_timeout" to 3600 seconds (1
hour), so that atleast I save my WAL archive storage space, because if it is
set to 1800 seconds (30 minutes), it is fast filling. Setting it in this
way affect the PITR recovery process to consistent snapshot as the database
was at that time? Will I be able to recover my database upto 10:15 am?
