From d06d92cd2d5e3c3dd893ee0d82d14d1f8adbc82b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fujii Masao Date: Wed, 27 Jun 2018 00:45:21 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] Fix documentation bug related to backup history file. The backup history file has been no longer necessary for recovery since the version 9.0. It's now basically just for informational purpose. But previously the documentations still described that a recovery requests the backup history file to proceed. The commit fixes this documentation bug. Back-patch to all supported versions.
