Well, maybe one could add just a few lines. pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf
are also documented in the documentation itself.

My first mistake was that I kept the archive_command setting and thus
overwrote my original archive files. Maybe you should add a note that one
should set it to another directory when recovering.

My question is: When I've restored up to the time t_0, how can I go on to
restore up to another point in time, later than t_0 but before the end of my
log files.

I've set another recovery_target_time but it won't work. When exactly would
I have to specify recovery_target_timeline?

Thanks for your words of wisdom,
Joachim
