Hi, Finally I solved it. It was just a rights access problem. When I save/copy/move/cleanup the data directory, I used my account, and postgres user had no rights to write/modify the new data directories. I give it rights and the recovery works well now. Regards, Sabin BTW: Although the rights access problems are obvious for experimented users, it would be nice to find a warning/error message in the event logs from the service that it has no write access in the directory.
