integrity of a database cluster backup taken using

of the backup. The backup may be stored either in the "plain" or the "tar"

format; this includes tar-format backups compressed with any algorithm

supported by <application>pg_basebackup</application>. However, at present,

<literal>WAL</literal> verification is supported only for plain-format

backups. Therefore, if the backup is stored in tar-format, the

Backup consists of tar files, which may be compressed. A valid

backup includes the main data directory in a file named

<filename>base.tar</filename>, the WAL files in

<filename>pg_wal.tar</filename>, and separate tar files for

each tablespace, named after the tablespace's OID. If the backup

is compressed, the relevant compression extension is added to the

end of each file name.
