During recovery process of a self contained backup, how postgres know to

Because it knows the full packup info. It will observe the
STOP WAL LOCATION: 3BC7/4B000130 (file 0000000200003BC70000004B)
inside the backup file
There is a bit more to that in the recovery logic, depending mostly
on the presence of backup_ label file in the data folder when recovery
begins. Once the backup_label is found at the beginning of recovery,
its information is stored in the control file and the file is renamed
to backup_label.old hence stopping the server when recovery has not
reached its expected point would rely on the control file contents
later on. Then, the startup process and its WAL redo makes sure that
WAL replays until it finds the WAL record marking the end of the
backup. Grepping for XLOG_BACKUP_END (WAL record type in this case)
shows all the areas that rely on that, and xlogrecovery.c covers the
most relevant bits.
Thank you for the info!
Sorry about my stupid typo "packup" :(
