Hi
I am trying to implement backup and restore feature.
For backup I am issuing the command from windows cmd prompt:
C:\ [path to pg_dump.exe ]\pg_dump.exe -i -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -F c -b -v -f C:\MyBackups\db_backup.backup mydb
For restore I am issuing the following command:
C:\[path to pg_restore.exe ]\pg_restore.exe -i -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d mydb -c -v C:\MyBackups\db_backup.backup
The above 2 commands working perfect while database is online (running).
However the problem is they are not working while database is offline (database shutdown)
It is showing the following error message:
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "mydb" failed: could not connect
to server: Connection refused (0x0000274D/10061)
Is the server running on host "localhost" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?
pg_dump: *** aborted because of error
Is it possible to backup & restore the database offline? If so what is the problem in my command.
Please help me.
Thanks
Sreeman
