They state (1) free daily backups and (2) restore to any datapoint within the previous seven days.
But if they only create a backup once a day i can only restore to any point in time before the last full backup. Did they mean the constantly backup the postgres WAL files so effectively you have backups only a few minutes old?
- groestl 8y agoIf they didn't back up the WAL files, point in time recovery wouldn't work at all (not even beetween full backups).

The backup process allows you to truncate the logs up to the point of the backups.
