Re: Recovery Data Cant Be!!!

This is the way to do that?

./pgfsck -D /usr/local/pgsql/data -da union_seguros >
/var/lib/pgsql/bak_union

What is the correct setting to never do that?
What is a solid storage subsystem?
fsync=false ?
write cache enabled?

Can you explain me this?
Postgres
I use IDE disk
