The current approach incorrectly checks whether a full backup is the only valid base for all PITR target points, which is not a valid criterion. A full backup should not be required to support all PITR points to be considered necessary. Instead, each full backup only contributes to a specific PITR time range, depending on when the backup was taken and the availability of continuous backups afterward. This ticket proposes a more accurate and conservative approach: - Determine the PITR range each full backup can support. - Identify if another full backup exists that fully covers the same range. - If such a backup exists, the original one can be considered safe for deletion. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
