Hi, i dumped my database on server1 with pg_dump -Fc ..., copied the dump to server2, both same pgsql version 7.4.6 pg_restore says pg_restore: [custom archiver] could not uncompress data: incorrect data check But it "seems" that almost any data was restored. What does this error mean. I didn't found anything in the archives (searched google with 'pg_restore "incorrect data check"'). Just one unanswered message ( http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2003-08/msg01035.php ) kind regards, janning

Is there any chance the file got corrupted? Can you duplicate the problem if you do another dump? What OS and version of zlib are you using on each server? -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/
