Re: restore database from bare files

Hello. Sorry for mi inglish! :-)

Postgres 7.4 will not access 7.3 PGDATA repository. You must downgrade your
binary files to any 7.3.X (latest is better)
Note: 7.3 won't access 7.4 files neither. Yo can only do sub-sub-version
updates without having to dump and restore (example 7.3.1. to 7.3.9 doesn't
need to dump and restore of databases)

greeting.

Assuming that you made the tarball when the server was shut down, just
restore it and you should be all set.
