You'll need a restore_command that is a script that sits in a wait loop
when the file it is asked for is not available yet, or other conditions
have occurred such as notification of switchover (manually or
otherwise). When those conditions occur the script should return a
non-zero error condition.
There should be no recovery_target* settings.
