Incrementally Updated Backups technique has been in the document since 8.2.
In the development cycle of 9.0, I and Heikki appended some description to
make the technique more robust; pg_control file should be backed up first
and the backup end point should be checked before running query.

If it's unsafe, I'm happy to modify it. Which part looks unsafe?
