hi,

sounds like a plain text backup. your problem, I guess, will be some
constraint issue. I suggest commenting out the constraints in the backup
file before running the restore.

It will be easier for people to help if you provide more info such as postgres version, OS, how the backup was made, exact error message, etc. But, if you're getting a syntax error, then my best guess would be that either that you have a corrupt/incomplete backup, or that you're trying to restore to a different version of postgres than you used to make the backup, and the backup has syntax which would be valid for the version that made it, but not for the version you're trying to restore to.
