I've read through the PITR documentation many times. I do not see anything
that sheds light on what I'm doing wrong, and I've restored older backups
successfully many times in the past few months using this technique. I have
no explanation for why all of a sudden my last few backups are not restoring
properly and we've not changed anything on our database setup recently.

I'm currently creating a full backup of our primary database and will build
a second warm spare with that, but the additional pressure this puts on our
system is not acceptable as a long term backup solution.
