Hi, Our old(7.0.2) postgres base directory is, say /user3/local/pgsql and new(7.0.3) postgres base directory is /usr/local/pgsql. As the doc suggested I tried to backup the whole data(7.0.2), but it was unsuccessful. Since the normal restoration is almost over, I was thinking about the other possibilities. Is it ok just by copying the directory, say /user3/local/pgsql/data to /usr/local/pgsql/data and base/ directory also ? Or tar-it the whole old data directory and untar it to new? I haven't done anything to new database yet, except compile and initializing. Thanks. Jinsoo
