Could someone please advise:
 
I'm new to Postgres (13 years Oracle DBA experience) and I'm trying to understand the nature of Postgres backup/restores.
 
An example:
 
If I take a backup (via pg_dump) at 8pm on Wednesday and then on Thursday at 10am I have some form of media failure, how do I roll the DB forward from the backup to the point of failure.
 
Can this be done?
 
Thanks for any assistance.
 
Regards
 

Nigel
