Subject: WAL restoration is not happening completely

Hi, 

In postgresql.conf file we have set the following configuration, 
wal_level=hot_standby 
archive_mode=on 
archive_command='test ! -f /archives/%f && cp %p /archives/%f' 
max_wal_senders=1 
wal_keep_segments=128 

and took a base backup using the command, pg_basebackup --xlog --format=t -D
/backups/`date +%Y%m%d` 

This base backup and WAL files from the '/archives' dir are moved to another
machine in which the base.rar is extracted into $PGDATA folder and WAL
files(9 files) are copied to '/archives' folder. 

recovery.conf is created under the $PGDATA folder with the command
"restore_command = 'cp /archives/%f %p'" and then the postgres db service is
started. 

*The restored database has changes which were done today and missing data
from changes did a couple of days before.*

Note: Can anybody suggest a way to verify/test the incremental backup?
