(Just thinking out loud) Also it might be useful to have remote restore 
facility (i.e. if pg_combinebackup could write to non-local storage), so 
you don't need to restore the instance into a locale place and copy/move 
to the remote machine. But it seems to me that it is the most nontrivial 
feature and requires much more effort than other points.

In pg_probackup we have remote restore via SSH in the beta state. But 
SSH isn't an option for in-core approach I think.
