Hi all,

        Some days ago I need to reinstall postgresql 6.3.2. Before doing 
this I made a backup of my databases just copying the files in 
/var/lib/pgsql. Did I make the backup correctly?
        After that, I install postgres (6.3.2). Then, I copied my
databases into the directory /var/lib/pgsql/base. When I was trying to
connect to one of my databases, I received a message like this:
"<database-x> does not exist in pg_database".
        So, I copied the old pg_database to /var/lib/pgsql. But it doesn't
work. Now it's reporting another error.
        After explaining the problem, I hope someone helps me, by saying
how can I use my databases into the new installation of postgres.

        Thanks,
                Luiz
