`Add Named Restore Point Dialog`:index:
***************************************

Use the *Add named restore point* dialog to take a named snapshot of the state
of the server for use in a recovery file. To create a named restore point, the
server's postgresql.conf file must specify a *wal_level* value of *replica*,
*logical*, or *minimal*.  You must be a database superuser to create a
restore point.

When the *Restore point name* window launches, use the field *Enter the name of
the restore point to add* to provide a descriptive name for the restore point.

For more information about using a restore point as a recovery target, please
see the
`PostgreSQL documentation <https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/runtime-config-wal.html#RUNTIME-CONFIG-WAL-RECOVERY-TARGET>`_.

* Click the *OK* button to save the restore point.
* Click the *Cancel* button to exit without saving work.
