Importing PostgreSQL data from another database

Hi Everyone,

I am trying to import data from a backed up PostgreSQL tablespace. The
server which the original data was on has been wiped.

1. I saved the tablespace onto a portable harddrive from the old server.
This contains the tablespace folder (with PG_VERSION file) and a folder
named 225809. This folder contains about 300gb of info.

2. Now I want to view the data on another computer. I am not sure of the
best way to do this. I have tried to create a new tablespace and copy
the data into it - but the OID is different and so the data cannot be
read.

3. I realise now that I should have used the backup/restore function in
PGAdmin III. I did not do this. Is there anyway to retrieve the data so
that I can view it again?

I hope you can help and I hope this makes sense.

Thanks,

Chris Ewing
