Hi,

We have run into some problems here which stops us from properly backing
up the databases using pg_dump. We do have a tarred version of the data
directory (/usr/local/pgsql/data) which contains databases that we need
to restore.

I found out that simply replacing the data/ directory does no good. Is
there another method in which I can restore databases with the data/
directory?

Thank you

Afra
