Hi Postgres Guru's,Is it possible to use the Hot Backup (PITR Backup) of PostgreSQL on an Operating system to restore the database on other Operating system.
No, it isn't. Physical (PITR) backups are based on copying the physical files directly off the database server. The only way to move from one platform / architecture to another is to use a 'logical' method vs. the physical copy involved with PITR.
