PostgreSQL failure does not wait for a convenient time. One missing backup, one broken WAL archive, one wrong restore command, and recovery becomes a panic session. Humans built production systems, then trusted hope as a backup plan. Brilliant.

In this video, Dr. Ibrar Ahmed explains PostgreSQL PITR, Point-in-Time Recovery, in a practical way for DBAs, developers, and production engineers.

You will learn:

What PITR means in PostgreSQL
Why base backups and WAL archives matter
How recovery_target_time works
How restore_command fits into recovery
Common PITR setup mistakes
How to prepare before real failure
How PITR fits into disaster recovery planning

If you run PostgreSQL in production, PITR should be part of your backup and recovery strategy. Waiting until failure day is how teams earn painful lessons.
