Hi all,

One of our customer who using PostgreSQL7.2.1 encountered the following
error when they back up the database using pg_dump.exe.

[command]:
pg_dump.exe -f <filename> <dbname>

[error message]:
pg_dump.exe: [archiver (db)] connection to database "<dbname>" failed:
FATAL 1: The database system is starting up

Could anybody tell me what is the problem and if there is any solution?

Thank you in advance,
Melanie
