Say I'm using pg_standby to feed wal files from database A into both database B and database C. At some point, I lose A, so I bring Database B up and start the wal archiving from there. Can I then continue streaming the wal files from B into C, or do I need to take a new base backup from B and start C from there?
You need another base backup from B. ISTM that's because server A and server B will be on different timelines when B will finish its restore process.
