Thread: Restore DB
Hi,
We are using Postgres 8.3. We have backed up our db and while trying to restore, its not able to. We are using PgAdminIII for the same.
What all other ways we have to restore the db. We have both the old data directory as well as backed up data.

We took using PgAdminIII right click action. And it generated .backup files. However while restoring whole machine is getting hanged for unlimited time. So just checking do we have some other way also, as we have complete Postgre directory also. Thanks, Shahbaz A.

Place the directory at desired location and start the server as a postgres user pg_ctl -D <path to postgres data directory> start
