we have a client using veeam to do vmware snapshots of the db servers,

As far as I know, once the db is online we cannot force it back into
recovery mode to do a PITR recovery, correct?
Anyone know of a way to do PITR recoveries with veeam?
It is fairly simple.
Before the snapshot, run
SELECT pg_start_backup('label of your choice', TRUE);
After the snapshot, run
SELECT pg_stop_backup();

However restoring the snapshot with veeam will restore the db to a
running/online state, which means we cannot force it to go back into
recovery mode yes?
