Thanks for the info.
What, then, is the best way to achieve my goal of having a "standby" DB that
can be kept within 15 minutes or so in sync with the primary? periodic
pg_dump/restore? Unfortunately, I can't upgrade right now.

I am trying to bring up a disaster recovery database using a cold-copy of
the datafiles on a different machine. I've got all WAL files since this

when I bring it up?
No, you need to be running >8.x.
