We are using Sun Solaris 64bits version 10. postgresql-9.1.3-S10.sparc-6 I downloaded the script from some of the website and try to test out but didn't work at all. Don't know how to create a backup user (I know the syntax but where should I create it?) Normall, we goes to sqlplus / as sysdba on oracle and mysql -u root -p on mysql, but where should I create it on postgres? Also, when I start the postgres, I saw 5 processes running... this is odd isn't it? Beside that, don't see port running on /tmp directory.

Hi there, Not sure what forum you mean.... you're writing to the pgsql-general mailing list, so you're already in the right place. > Second, I'm new with postgres.

Some of this happens in the database, some in the operating system. If you give details of your platform - hardware and software - people will be able to help you.
