Hello all
Today due to some problems my windows crashed. I have unbuntu also
installed on my system. I can access the C drive by mounting it in linux.
I have tried to run windows in save mode and also many other options
like replacing some dll files but none worked.
Now some very important Databases was residing on my windows postgresql
server. I dont want to loose them :(
Can I take backup of those DB from Linux. As i can access the Postgresql
folder from linux. Please suggest
No, you cannot just "copy" the data folder from Windows to Linux.
But if you can access the PG data directory, make a backup copy of it, re-install Windows and Postgres.
Then copy the backup of the data directory back to the Windows installation.
