How to do it…

How do you decide to what point to recover? The point where we stop recovery is known as the recovery target. The most straightforward way is to do this based on a timestamp.

In recovery.conf file, you can add (or uncomment) a line that says the following, or something similar: recovery_target_time  =  '2017-06-01  16:59:14.27452+01'

Note that you need to be careful to specify the time zone of the target so that it matches the time zone of the server that wrote the log. That might differ from the time zone of the current server, so be sure to double-check them.

After that, you can check the progress during a recovery by running queries in hot standby mode. By default, when hot standby is enabled, the recovered server is paused ...
