Hi guys.

I know it's not strictly /barman/ list but I presume many 
here use it.
I do, but I only now realized that using barman's 
/recovery/ with PIT is faulty - apparently have been for a 
while.
So I wonder - besides the fault(s) - I must be missing 
something or doing something incorrectly for...
when I check backups /wals/ I get:

-> $ pg_waldump 
ubusrv-master-10-1-1-88/wals/00000B000000000D/00000B000000000D00000030
pg_waldump: fatal: could not find a valid record after 
D/30000000

and that is for every /wal/ in the backup - which has to 
wrong, no?
How & where do I start troubleshooting this?

many thanks, L.
