The WAL files on the Barman Server might be compressed, depending on your Barman compression setting.
e.g. compression = gzip, or you are using a different PostgreSQL pg_waldump version, than the one on your
PostgreSQL host.

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.
