If I remember correctly, when postgres finishes its recovery, it
increments the timeline. If this is true, whenever ACT fails and SBY
becomes primary, SBY would increment its timeline. So when the former
ACT comes back and joins the replication as SBY, would it need to get
a fresh backup before it can join as SBY ?
