Hi,

I can't boot the postgres server anymore. I just have access to the files,
like the /var/lib/postgresql/8.3 path, for example. I use debian and
postgresql-8.3 .

I don't have any sql dump. How can I recover my databases with just the
binary files there?

I tried copy the /var/lib/postgresql/8.3 to another a installation of
postgresql-8.3 on another server, but without success.
