Thread: Recovery from another installation
Dear Sirs, my question if it is possible to recovery a set of databases from a directory 'data' of a different machine. I have a machine with Postegres 2.5 and Windows 2000 crashed (OS does not start) but with filesystem OK, and another machine (with XP PRO and Postgres also 2.5). Can I copy the 'data' directory of the first machine (W2000) to the second machine? what I have to do? Thank you. Domenico
postgres 2.5 ??? wow ... that's an old version... Consider an upgrade...
From what i know, it shouldn't be a problem, because it's primarily the same sub-version... It would be another story if it was from 2.5 to 2.6 (in that case, you should use pg_dump_all) ... But i really don't know if with a so low version everything could go fine ...
Greetings ;) (and consider an upgrade :P)
