Thread: backup/restore gone in 1.6.0?

Hi everyone,

This is probably a total noob question, but if I go into pgAdmin 1.4.3 
and select one of my databases, I can go Tools->Backup, but in 1.6.0 the 
option is greyed out.  My server is still 8.1, not 8.2.  Is that what's 
preventing it?

Thanks,
Kev

There is a minor bug in wxWidgets which caused this - it has been fixed 
for future versions.

A workaround is to add the pgAdmin directory (the one containing 
pg_dump.exe/pg_restore.exe) to your system path. Restart pgAdmin, and 
the backup/restore options should be there.
