How do I use 8.4 pg_restore? the DB server I am trying to restore is using 8.3. Do you mean do pg_restore on the same machine that I did pg_dump?? I am thinking of doing that too, but I am not sure how to do the command.
Is this correct? pg_restore -h (my target machine IP) -U postgres -d (target db) mydb.dump

Why am I keep getting error with version issues.... I am trying to restore a
backup file from a 8.4 postgresql server to a 8.3 postgresql server.
Try using the 8.4 pg_restore (but keep the "-i" to tell it to ignore the version checks). You may still see errors, but there is a good chance it will work.
[postgres@localhost ~]$ pg_restore -C -d postgres -i isamdb.backup
pg_restore.bin: [archiver] unsupported version (1.11) in file header
You're also restoring into the "postgres" database here - is that what you meant to do?
