Hi,
We have requirement to perform File system based restore of entire
PostgreSQL database server to a different mount point.

-> I know that if no user created tablespaces are involved, we have just
need to restore the entire DATA directory to new mount point, modify
configuration parameters if required and then start the server.
-> If user created table-space directories are involved, then we will have
to manually adjust the symbolic links (under pg_tblspc) to the new
tablespace directory path and bring up the server.

Adjusting symbolic links is a workaround ( hook! ), is there a any official
documentation on how 'PostgreSQL server restore to a different mount point'
can be achieved ?

Thanks
Girish
