Problem restoring database - Mailing list pgsql-novice

Hi,

I have a big problem restoring a database. I have two backups, one made
with pgadmin from my client, and one that is made nightly on the server
with the local pg_dump. The PG version is 7.4.17 on RHEL4.

this is what I tried:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------
local restore with pg_restore, using the local made backup:

 pg_restore -F t -d team -h localhost -v -p 5432 -U master
/home/backup/pg/current/22\:07-postgresql_database-team-backup

So it seems my real problem is that large object, but what could I do
about it?
