restore will continue" + +2. **"no space left"** + - Type: Critical + - Hint: "Insufficient disk space to complete operation" + - Action: "Free up disk space: rm old_backups/* or increase storage" + +3. **"max_locks_per_transaction"** + - Type: Critical + - Hint: "Lock table exhausted - typically caused by large objects" + - Action: "Increase max_locks_per_transaction in postgresql.conf to 512" + +4. **"syntax error"** + - Type: Fatal + -

No more mysterious failures or cryptic messages.
