A backup is only useful if it can be restored. This lab seeds a source database, takes a logical archive, deliberately deletes the source database, restores into a clean target, and checks the recovered state. Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL does not provide a native Windows package. Windows is only the Docker Desktop host; PostgreSQL and its utilities run in Linux containers.
