Yep, that works as it is since wal files are created althought to use %f
should not hurt either.

I have there exactly one line
restore_command = 'cp /data/backup/postgresql/archive-logs/%f %p'
and with it i expect to restore as much data as i have wal files

which are generated after pg_stop_backup but skips all others.
