Yes, this instance is running on Windows XP.
I ran pg_resetxlog against the data directory and I'm reloading the
dumped data in
a new cluster i created.
The machine is running Avira AntVir, but Avira played well with Postgres
so far.
What kind of data verification do you recommend? A sucessfull
dump/reload is a good sign that the data
is healthy?
Thanks for the attention
