That's very good news, but given that they've not been going "by the book" in all respects, it pays to be cautious here. Did they make the copy while the database service was shut down? If not, did they follow all the rules for a PITR backup? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/backup.html In any event, take great care that the backup is not overwritten, deleted, or *moved* to be used for recovery. You really want to protect that and keep it until the database has been up and running for a few weeks, at least. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
