I wasn't sure, but checking the documentation I've found that both pg_dump and pg_restore don't allow the "-u" switch, but yes "-U <username" case.
Check (for pgsql 8):
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/app-pgdump.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/app-pgrestore.html
Best regards,

I used pg_dump -u -F c -f E:\Temp\Test.tar.gz TestDB to backup. Then, I dropped and recreated TestDB.
However, I failed to restore with this command pg_restore -u -F c -d TestDB E:\Temp\Test.tar.gz.
Here is what I got :
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] connection to database "TestDB" failed: FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres"
I don't understand why the password is invalid. I am sure I used that password to create backup as well.
How should I restore the gz file ?
Thanks !
