this is basically what i use but it does not work.
pg_restore -C -d sewe survey.tar -U postgres
but i get the following error message:
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] connection to database "sewe" failed: FATAL: passwo rd authentication failed for user "raf_new"
where raf_new is my computer user and not user i used in my pg_restore :-(

AAIU, the custom dump formats are less portable than the plain-text format, so you might be better off using that. In that case, you need to unzip the file first and then restore it using psql.
