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?
 
Can barman restore the instance?  For example, pg_waldump would barf on WALs in a PgBackRest repo because it's encrypted in addition to being compressed, even though pgbackrest does PITR restores without complaint.
