yeah that's what I means to do.

How do I use 8.4 pg_restore? the DB server I am trying to restore is using 8.3. Do you mean do pg_restore on the same machine that I did pg_dump?? I am thinking of doing that too, but I am not sure how to do the command.

Is this correct? pg_restore -h (my target machine IP) -U postgres -d (target db) mydb.dump

Well, an 8.4 dump isn't always going to be compatible with an 8.3 server, is it? If there weren't differences, the version number wouldn't have changed.


[postgres@localhost ~]$ pg_restore -C -d postgres -i isamdb.backup
pg_restore.bin: [archiver] unsupported version (1.11) in file header

Try using the 8.4 pg_restore (but keep the "-i" to tell it to ignore the version checks). You may still see errors, but there is a good chance it will work.

You're also restoring into the "postgres" database here - is that what you meant to do?
