Wait, if you're restoring a backup, to a freshly initted db, then you
shouldn't be getting any kind of pg_xlog errors. If you are, then
there's likely something wrong with your server that pg_resetxlog
isn't going to fix in the long term. Are you running on windows with
anti-virus software or have some other kind of possible problem that
could be causing a problem with the postmaster writing to the hard
drives?
