Recovery question

Hi,

    I am new to Postgres and had a few questions. We are testing the
recovery of a database cluster. We have read the documentation and have
been able to recover successfully but we were wondering about the
contents of the ARCHIVE_STATUS subdirectory. It appears that it is OK
for this directory to be entry during recovery. I just wanted to verify
that this is correct.

    Also, is there a way to search the archives for all notes on a
particular subject?

    Is this ADMIN list the appropriate forum for backup and recovery
questions?

Thanks alot!
