Title: -- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE --

I'm assuming you are using pg_dumpall for your backups.  In that case, i'd restore the instance somewhere else, and pg_dump the one database.

However, he has not been running regular dumps because he figured the tape backups were enough. Is there anyway that I can assist him in retreiving his tables from backup tapes? I am not sure how or where that data is stored.
