Hey Greg,
Basically my backup was made after the first pg_resetxlog so I was wrong.
Bummer.
However, the customer had a secondary machine that wasn't synced for a
month. I have all the walls since the moment the secondary went out of
sync. Once I started it I hoped that it will start recover the wals and
fill the gap. However I got an error in the secondary :

I checked my secondary archive dir and pg_xlog dir and
it seems that the restore command doesnt work. My restore_command:
restore_command = 'rsync -avzhe ssh
postgres@x.x.x.x:/var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f ;
gunzip < /var/lib/pgsql/archive/%f > %p'
archive_cleanup_command = '/usr/pgsql-9.6/bin/pg_archivecleanup
/var/lib/pgsql/archive %r'
Well, when you say it does not work, why do you think so? Does it print
some error, or what? Does it even get executed? It does not seem to be
the case, judging by the log (there's no archive_command message).
How was the "secondary machine" created? You said you have all the WAL
since then - how do you know that?
