I am using PGSQL 8.2.3. I took a backup of my database selecting "Plain" option from pgAdmin 1.6. When I am trying to
restoreit to a new machine having PGSQL 8.2.3 installed, using pgAdmin, the OK button of the "Restore Backup Window"
remainsdisabled. Why?

I think the problem is that the restore window looks for snapshots with
the extension "backup", as made with the default options of the pgAdmin
Backup function.
If you're using "Plain", the backups are in .sql files, and you can
execute with psql or a query window in pgAdmin.
