Hi ,

my postmaster is refusing to startup. and my last backup is 18 hrs old.
restoring data for that backup is the last option i have.

I have already tried pg_resetxlog -f $PGDATA , but that sets the
database to a state that is 2 days old.

will anyone please help me with my best bet in recovering data
for $PGDATA

 i made a copy of it before running pg_resetxlog.

        This probably means that some data blocks are corrupted
        and you will have to use the last backup for recovery.
