Hey Hackers,
We had a database running on debian where its disks went corrupted. And currently is not possible to access those disks, unreadable.
For backup we used:
File System Level Backup
Continuous Archiving and Point-in-Time Recovery (PITR)
We used tablespaces for the entire database.
When trying to recover from the backup we noticed that the backup was partially complete, here is the info:
PG_VERSION 8.2.4
base we are missing the files
global we are missing the files
pg_clog we are missing the files
pg_multixact we are missing the files
pg_subtrans we are missing the files
pg_tblspc All files are preserved there from a backup
pg_twophase we are missing the files
pg_xlog we are missing the files
Previous backups had the same error. We only have backups from the last 2 weeks.
We have a very old (about 10 years old) data/
What are the alternatives for recovery here? (besides trying to recover disk data with specialists)
Thanks!
Phillip Black.
