Hi Ron, I read your reply in the mailing list archives as I'm not subscribed to the list, and I'm copy-pasting a response here. Please include me as a recipient in further replies.
Why are you regularly having emergencies requiring the restoration of multi-TB tables to databases with lots of cruft? Fixing that would go a long way towards eliminating your problems with pg_restore.
I don't have emergencies yet. I'm testing the process of restoring the database dump, and it takes more than 24 hours currently. A successful test is vital to approve the process. But the primary usage of pg_restore that I have is not to save me from emergencies but to populate the dev database with recent data. Regards, Dimitris
