[Update] Document how to use distributed restore point on multinode #685

Closed k-rus closed 3 years ago

k-rus commented 3 years ago

create_distributed_restore_point creates consistent restore points on nodes of a multinode. https://github.com/timescale/timescaledb/pull/3024 tests using the function and restoring a multinode with help pg_basebackup.

It is necessary to document how users can make backup and restore multinode with help of create_distributed_restore_point and, e.g., pg_basebackup. The target is 2.2 release where the function is expected to be included.

Note that it is not clear if, and how, users will be able to use this to do backup and restore on Forge initially. We might want to make an explicit note of this. FWIW, I believe users on Forge cannot use pg_create_restore_point() either.
