​The machine one tests their backup restoration process on should suffice
for this purpose...​

*As Ron has previously stated, this is not possible, but it begs the
question...why not simply do a pg_dump of one table and restore that?*

No, but you can use a spare machine to restore the hole database 
(point-in-time-recovery) and restore the table from that using pg_dump or 
copy.


Not everyone has a spare machine and a few TB lying around...

No, but you can use a spare machine to restore the hole database 
(point-in-time-recovery) and restore the table from that using pg_dump 
or copy.

pg_basebackup restore a single table

2018-04-11 Thread camarillo 
Hello how are you?

Currently, I'm doing a basebackup of a postgres instance 9.5 due to the
growth of it, doing a pg_dump took a long time.
Can I do a restore of a single table or single base using the archive
generated for the basebackup without having to delete the filesystem
(/var/lib/pgsql/9.5/*)?.  

Thanks,
Carlos
