RE: help for pg_wal issue

Thanks a lot for your reply!

We used netbackup for postgresql backups.
From what I saw on pgadmin tool backup user first issue this command,

SELECT pg_start_backup('label',true)
Then tool copy the postgresql directory and its files.

Then it executed this command.
SELECT pg_stop_backup()

what I understand  from this document (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/continuous-archiving.html#BACKUP)  it
shouldbe right below, for backing up all wall files?
 
pg_backup_stop(wait_for_archive => true);

Am I right?

Thanks a lot.
