Hi, due a error in the crontab i have the problem that the dump files are "overlapping". That means before the dump process was finished a second pg_dump started. Therefor i have some dump files but non of them holds the whole content. If i try to reload the dumpfiles pg_restore stopps after some bytes (there are much more in the dump file). Do someone know a tool with one can fix the dump fliles so that i can rescue most of the data ?? Every help wold greatly appreciated.
