When we take backups from a synchronous standby replica, how can we get the accurate timestamp of the backup end time ? (As backup history files are not generated on standbys)For example:
this is a part of control file after a backup (created using wal-g by calling pg_startbackup and pg_stopbackup),
Fake LSN counter for unlogged rels: 0/3E8
Minimum recovery ending location: 28/28000B68
Min recovery ending loc's timeline: 2
Backup start location: 0/0
Backup end location: 0/0
End-of-backup record required: no
here I can see that minimum recovery ending location as LSN value, how can we get the timestamp of it ?The backup label file looks like this.

How can we do PITR using timestamp if we don’t know the accurate timestamp of minimum recovery point ?
Thanks.Best,
