Hi all,
I used initlocation to create a database in some directory other than
the default, with Postgresl 7.4. I have a file-system level backup of
this data directory, but the main data directory (which did not contain
any real data) was lost.
Is there a way to restore the database from this backup?
The backed-up directory has the following layout: base base/17142 base/17142/{lots of files here}
Can I add this data directory to a fresh Postgresql installation? I
would be very grateful for any comments on this problem!
I am running Postgresql 7.4 on Debian i386.
Please CC replies to me, since I'm not (yet) subscribed to the list.
Regards,
Marcus B.
