Alright I am confused. You said you had multiple copies of the database
on one cluster. The above though shows you restoring to different
cluster(5433) then the cluster(5432) you dumped from.
Also why
"C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin\pg_dump.exe
vs
$pgdir\pg_restore.exe
?
Is pgdir different from "C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin\ ?
