Can I just grab the latest WAL in use WAL file and rsync it off somewhere so
that when I need to do a PITR restore, I have it available to put back into
the pg_xlog directory such that I don't lose too much data? The DB I'm
looking at using PITR for restores only rolls over WAL files about once every
5-6 hours and that seems like quite a bit of time to lose if we need to do a
restore.
