Yes!
Thanks. It pointed me out to File system level backup. And there I
found a very important hint... you have to restore the whole database
cluster. I suppose this means that I have to transfer all databases in
my postgresql...
What is actually a pity because there is a db on the production site
that will be lost... well, I can backup this one without ptoblems and
reinsert it after.
Thanks again.
