Hi,
 
I have a big problem.
 
The backup (done nightly with pg_dump) at one of our customers sites is broken (well, it's overwritten and is of no use anymore). What is left is a filesystem backup that incudes the postgresql directories.
 
I'm trying to restore one of the tables from this "filesystem backup" (employee_pass (salaries..)), that has been deleted on the live system.
 
How (if possible), can I use this filesystem backup to restore the database into a working setup (off-site), from where I can retreive data from the one table (employee_pass).
 
This is on Windows 2000 Server, the Postgres version is 8.01 (I know, it's old...)
