I got this error message: pg_restore: [archiver] input file does not appear to be a valid archive
after the command: pg_restore -d mydb_name mydb_name.dump.tar the tar file was created with the command pg_dump -b -f mydb_name.dump.tar -F t mydb_name ====== This is exactly what is said in the Man pages in pg_dump and pg_restore. I am using postgres 7.3.1 My question: Is this a bug in the new release? Or I am totally stupid. Help would be appreciated.
