Re: file system level backup

    I am still not understanding. You have a 2008 server at a and one at b.
    You copied the Postgres data files from 2008 server a to  2008 server b.
    This did not work, so you say you restored the data directory on server
    b from an old copy of the data directory at b.

    So where did that old copy come from?

    > short answer - from b itself (whatever was created right after
    installation).

    > long answer - 2008 servers at a and b. postgres 9.3s at a and b.
    added databases to postgres-a (postgres-b is empty/new). shutdown
    postgres-a and b. copied data-a and b to a network shared between
    server-a and b. deleted data-b on server-b. copied data-a from network
    to server-b.

    > restarted postgres-a and postgres-b. postgres-a succeeds. postgres-b
    fails.

    > so deleted data on server-b. restored data-b from network ("old
    copy") to server-b. restarted postgres-b. postgres-b still fails.

So is there anything in the Windows system logs?

Does the Task Manager show another Postgres running?
