Hi all; due to operator error at one of my client sites we're trying to restore a deleted db. We did a restore with a pgdump that went fine but the dump is 3weeks old. they do have WAL segments and they claim that the WAL segments are exactly in line with the needed transactions - from a timing perspective. However no base backup with pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup() was ever run. Is there any way to trick postgres into thinking that it needs to play fwd these WAL's? Would it work to simply place them in a dir, create a recovery.conf file pointing to that dir and restart the cluster?
