If you want to recover to some previous point in time (say, right before
the junior DBA dropped your main transaction table), just specify the
- required stopping point in <filename>recovery.conf</>. You can specify
+ required <link linkend="recovery-target-settings">stopping point</link> in <filename>recovery.conf</>. You can specify
the stop point, known as the <quote>recovery target</>, either by
date/time, named restore point or by completion of a specific transaction
ID. As of this writing only the date/time and named restore point options
