Help needed to restore a backup database!
1. Postgres service was started. When I run a restore command for the backup stored in /tmp (backed from another server working on this database and sent to meby email by another user). I created a database by the same name "royapuram" by using createdb in template1 and then ran the following command:
[root@adccs ~]# /usr/bin/pg_restore -a /tmp/royapuram.backup
ERROR: pg_restore: [archiver] unsupported version (1.10) in file header
2. Alternatively I used (after creating "royapuram" database
[
root@adccs ~]# su - postgres
-bash-3.00$ psql royapuram < /tmp/royapuram.backup;
RESULT
ERROR: syntax error at or near "" at character 1
and the whole terminal churns up junk characters and stops!
What do I do to restore!!
Regards
