We recently experienced a hard media failure. It turns out our admin guys have been doing backups by backing up the
pgsqldata directory, but not prepping the db first.<br /><br />After a restore, when I try to start the database I get
"LOG: logger shutting down" and nothing else. This is Postgres 8.1.3.<br /><br />I've been on the IRC channel for a
whileand they referred me here. I know that the DB wasn't backed up correctly, but is there anything I can do to
recover?<br/><br />Thanks,<br />David<br clear="all" /><br /> -- <br />David Dollar <<a
