Re: How to restore backup database

[klo uo <klonuo@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Adrian,

I used pgAdmin backup command.

However in the meantime I figured how to restore.

I first have to create database, and then use restore option which becomes available if I right-click on a database.

On MSSQL for example, I can restore database without creating database first, and I guess I was expecting similar behavior.

Cheers

Hi,

I use PostrgrSQL 9.3 for couple of months now, on Windows.
I installed new Window OS, and before installing, I made tar backups of
my PostgreSQL databases.

What was the command you used?

Now I want to restore these on my new OS, but I can't find such option
in pgAdmin.


In documentation (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/backup.html)
I see only suggestions how to restore sql dumps with command line tools,
but none how to restore single file tar backups.

Please suggest the right way to restore my backup databases.

Well that depends on the answer to the previous question.

Thanks
