Apologies -
I did not mention complete details of PG and OS -
Postgres 9.0.1
Production Operating System version where Postgres is running is as follows -
Linux *prod-server* 2.6.18-194.17.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Sep 20 07:12:06 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
The server version where I restored the production backup is as follows -
Linux *backup-server* 2.6.18-194.3.1.el5PAE #1 SMP Sun May 2 04:42:25 EDT 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I read some where that, Postgres datafiles are not architecture independent.
Please help !
Thanks
Venkat

Hello Everyone,
I am testing the Online Backups of our production databases ( this is part of our disaster recovery plan ).
After restoring the Online Backup, we tried to bring up the cluster and ended up with the following error -
2011-09-23 07:29:04 CDT [24092]: [1-1] FATAL: incorrect checksum in control file.
Does this message mean, the Online Backup is corrupted or invalid ?
Normally, we get recovery related error messages. This is the first time we are facing a problem like this.
Please help as this is critical for us.
Thanks
Venkat
