Tim, Here is the scenario that might reveal any clue what am I missing here:
I am trying to restore the backup that I got from another institution. They used to host our Dspace instance. I got 2 files, one is a Postgres backup and another is Assetstore. Now, digging through all the docs, I found there are 3 ways of dumping the data and I am assuming they gave me 'pg_dump' output what I am trying to restore with no luck yet. I followed the exact same steps that you described below before sending any messages in this listserv (except running the init-index script) but after running the script, nothing happened yet. So, do you think, they might gave me a file system level backup or another type instead of 'pg_dump', at least that's what I am thinking at this point of time. What else should I done? Once again, I appreciate your help, thanks, Faizur Rahman, Ph.D. UTD Library Systems 972-883-4100 [email protected] -----Original Message----- From: Tim Donohue [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 4:34 PM To: Rahman, Sm F Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Dspace import/Replace error Faizur, When you did your Postgres backup, you should have run 'pg_dump' to create a full backup of all your DSpace DB tables. So, it should have been a command similar to the following: pg_dump -E UNICODE dspace > my-dspace-backup.sql (where 'dspace' is the name of your DSpace Database, and 'my-dspace-backup.sql' is the full location of your backup file) So, assuming you have a backup file created by "pg_dump", you should be able to restore it by doing the following: (1) ReCreate an empty 'dspace' database owned by the 'dspace' user: createdb -U dspace -E UNICODE dspace (2) Restore all of its contents from your backup file: psql dspace < my-dspace-backup.sql More information on the various Postgres commands (e.g. 'pg_dump' and 'psql'), along with all their options are available on the PostgreSQL website: pg_dump: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/app-pgdump.html psql: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/app-psql.html createdb: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/app-createdb.html After you have the database restored, it's recommended to run 'dspace index-init' to rebuild the DSpace Browse tables & also recreate the Search indexes. I hope that helps, - Tim On 9/1/2010 4:05 PM, Rahman, Sm F wrote: > Tim, you are correct, I don't see any content, what steps exactly should I > take to restore the database from backup, I want to make sure I am taking the > right steps to make it work, thanks again, Faizur > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Tim Donohue [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2010 11:32 AM > To: Rahman, Sm F > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Dspace-tech] Dspace import/Replace error > > Faizur, > > It looks like your Database did not restore properly.
