Thread: Need Database Backup

Sir,

We were using newgenlib software which is having postgresql as backend.

Suddenly Our Systems OS got corrupted and unable to start and we have taken installed folder as backup from the drive but we are unable to restore and kindly help in this.

and also we have also taken backup 30 days in .sql format but even i am unable to upload.

So, i kindly request u to help in this as the database contains more than 2000 Students data

OK let's see what we can do to help you. What OS are you running? How
idd you move the database directory to the new machine? What errors
are you getting when you to start the db? What errors are you getting
when trying to restore from your old .sql backup? What version of
pgsql are you running?

Just kinda imagine one of us is looking over your shoulder and tell us
everything. Details that may seem small and unimportant can be very
important in helping to troubleshoot this kind of thing.

The OS is, though I am going to guess Windows?

What directory(folder) are you talking about?

What error messages if any did you get?

So is Postgres failing to start or the application(newgenlib) or both?

How where the backups taken?

How did you try restoring?
