Ah, thanks! Looks like that works.

I was using my code from last year updated for PG16: 
https://github.com/pgbackrest/pgbackrest/commit/20782c88bc8d0842d547bd5f4fecdb292e69d1f7#diff-8b97341571bc2625c64507d8d298aaa5dca8ceeb20754c7f164906e6ba44999dR508

-c)-pgdg-testing main 16

Seems like -testing was available about this time last year since we 
committed PG15 support on May 4. Am I missing something?

Thanks,
