Sounds almost like you're looking for point-in-time recovery, which will let you restore an entire cluster to any time
inthe past (if you can afford the storage), using physical replication. 

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/continuous-archiving.html

There are several sets of third-party tools that'll help with the setup, monitoring and other tooling. Look for
omnipitror pitrtools. 

(I'd guess you could build something similar that would let you do logical recovery by recording changesets from a
logicalreplication connection, but I don't know if anyone has put that together.)
