Hi, I need to restore from a filesystem level backup, the reason being that I cannot exeute an sql dump due to the postmaster not executing. Therefore I have decided to reinstall postgres (I am running Linux Mandrake 7 as an OS). I just want to ensure that the following is correct: copy all files (pg_ and tbl_ prefixed files, logfile and PG_VERSION) from the database directory copy pg_log from the /var/lib/data directory (I copied all files from here just in case). I have done the above but am not sure what the procedure is for restoring from a file system level backup. Any ideas?
