Re: PITR on Win32 - Archive and Restore

I will try it out later this afternoon.

I am a bit delayed with a hardware problem... suspect bad ram or too hot
cpu, so have been swapping and changing bits all morning (running with
500Mhz + 256M instead of 700Mhz + 512M ... noticeably slower).

regards

Mark
