The backup history file is just a small text file. It contains the
label string you gave to <function>pg_start_backup</>, as well as
the starting and ending times of the backup. If you used the label
to identify where the associated dump file is kept, then the
archived history file is enough to tell you which dump file to
the starting and ending times and WAL segments of the backup.
If you used the label to identify where the associated dump file is kept,
then the archived history file is enough to tell you which dump file to
restore, should you need to do so.
