Re: Doc: Move standalone backup section, mention -X argument

Hi,

Initially, I shared your perspective, but I wasn’t entirely on board 
with the subdivision you proposed. The more I thought about it and tried 
to reshape it, the less convinced I became.

I don’t think pg_basebackup fits naturally under the "File System Level 
Backup" section. I considered creating a "Standalone Physical Backup" 
section with two subsections: FS-level backups and pg_basebackup, but 
that didn’t feel right either.

What I find most problematic about the current state of the 
documentation is that this solution is buried in the "Tips and Examples" 
section. As a result, it’s easy to miss when skimming through the docs 
since the list of sub sections displayed at the top of the page and in 
"Chapter 25. Backup and Restore" stops 3 level deep.

What if we just move the "Standalone Hot Backups" up one level and 
rename the level 2 section ? Something like this ?

25.3. Continuous Archiving, backups and Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR)
25.3.1. Setting Up WAL Archiving
25.3.2. Making a Base Backup
25.3.3. Making an Incremental Backup
25.3.4. Making a Base Backup Using the Low Level API
25.3.5. Making a Standalone Hot Backup
25.3.6. Recovering Using a Continuous Archive Backup
25.3.7. Timelines
25.3.8. Tips and Examples
25.3.9. Caveats
