Let's go with poorly worded then. (Actually I don't do this, I use streaming replication, where I don't have to copy
theWAL files because the standby picks up the ones that are needed.) 

Unless I misread his earlier post, he is starting the backup, copying files, stopping the backup, and expecting those
transactions(between start & stop) to be applied, even though files changed during that time (including WAL files) have
notall been copied. Again, unless I misread his earlier post, he is *not* copying WAL that was generated between start
&stop.
