In response to lost database  (Jodi Kanter <jkanter@virginia.edu>)

I'm assuming you are using pg_dumpall for your backups.  In that case, i'd restore the instance somewhere else, and pg_dump the one database.

I am working with someone who has been running creating and maintaining his own database. He somehow managed to blow away his database and needs to restore. However, he has not been running regular dumps because he figured the tape backups were enough.
Is there anyway that I can assist him in retreiving his tables from backup tapes? I am not sure how or where that data is stored.
Thanks
