Re: Database recovery.

I copy the whole folder 'Data' to another PC where fresh postgresql
8.4 is installed (same as default config. that previous version have
had)

when i started the server got following ...

The postgresql-8.4 - PostgreSQL Server 8.4 service could not be started.

The service did not report an error.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3534.

The start command returned an error (2)

Press <return> to continue...

any clue?

Please let me know the right way of doing this for postgresql 8.4.

you need everything in the $PGDATA directory. On my system here,
itsD:\Postgres\8.4\data
but of course, your mileage may vary.
