The attached patch changes the layout according to your suggestion
(but with a small modification). Here is the new layout:

-------------------------------
Chapter 24. Backup and Restore
24.1. SQL Dump
    24.1.1. Restoring the dump
    24.1.2. Using pg_dumpall
    24.1.3. Handling large databases
24.2. File System Level Backup
24.3. Continuous Archiving and Point-In-Time Recovery (PITR)
    24.3.1. Setting up WAL archiving
    24.3.2. Making a Base Backup
    24.3.3. Recovering using a Continuous Archive Backup
    24.3.4. Timelines
    24.3.5. Tips and Examples
    24.3.6. Caveats
24.4. Migration Between Releases

Chapter 25. High Availability, Load Balancing, and Replication
25.1. Comparison of different solutions
25.2. File-based Log Shipping
    25.2.1. Planning
    25.2.2. Implementation
    25.2.3. Record-based Log Shipping
25.3. Streaming Replication
    25.3.1. Setup
    25.3.2. Authentication
25.4. Failover
25.5. Hot Standby
    25.5.1. User's Overview
    25.5.2. Handling query conflicts
    25.5.3. Administrator's Overview
    25.5.4. Hot Standby Parameter Reference
    25.5.5. Caveats
25.6. Incrementally Updated Backups
-------------------------------

I didn't change the content except adjusting the "sect" and
the "indexterm" tags to new chapter.

If this layout change will have been committed, I'll improve
the SR section.
