It will be easier for people to help if you provide more info such as
postgres version, OS, how the backup was made, exact error message, etc.
But, if you're getting a syntax error, then my best guess would be that
either that you have a corrupt/incomplete backup, or that you're trying to
restore to a different version of postgres than you used to make the backup,
and the backup has syntax which would be valid for the version that made it,
but not for the version you're trying to restore to.
