WAL restoration is not happening completely

Hi,

In postgresql.conf file we have set the following configuration,
wal_level=hot_standby
archive_mode=on
archive_command='test ! -f /archives/%f && cp %p /archives/%f'
max_wal_senders=1
wal_keep_segments=128

and took a base backup using the command, pg_basebackup --xlog --format=t -D
/backups/`date +%Y%m%d`

This base backup and WAL files from the '/archives' dir are moved to another
machine in which the base.rar is extracted into $PGDATA folder and WAL
files(9 files) are copied to '/archives' folder.

recovery.conf is created under the $PGDATA folder with the command
"restore_command = 'cp /archives/%f %p'" and then the postgres db service is
started.

*The restored database has changes which were done today and missing data
from changes did a couple of days before.*

Note: Can anybody suggest a way to verify/test the incremental backup?
