Docker and restore problems

What prevents a physical restore from starting or completing in Docker.

Confirm

  • Docker is installed and running.
  • Sufficient local disk space exists.
  • The selected backup is a completed physical backup.
  • The PostgreSQL major version is compatible.
  • Required WAL files are available.
  • The target timestamp is reachable from the selected base backup.

Missing WAL segments or incompatible timelines can prevent recovery. Do not treat a partially recovered data directory as a successful restore.
