Hi all, I used initlocation to create a database in some directory other than the default, with Postgresl 7.4. I have a file-system level backup of this data directory, but the main data directory (which did not contain any real data) was lost. Is there a way to restore the database from this backup? The backed-up directory has the following layout: base base/17142 base/17142/{lots of files here} Can I add this data directory to a fresh Postgresql installation? I would be very grateful for any comments on this problem! I am running Postgresql 7.4 on Debian i386. Please CC replies to me, since I'm not (yet) subscribed to the list.
