No. What likely happened is that due to a bug in your OS or harddrive controller, sectors from the middle of a binary (like an executable) got put in place of some of your blocks in your postgresql backup. You need to use a robust editor like vi to chop those parts out and see what you get. But the real answer is to use a known good backup. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
