This time from a Windows PC connected to the server through a 1Gbps switch. Unfortunately the result was the same, and this was my best bet. I see (transcribed by hand from screenshot): ... pg_restore: processing data for table "inspection.positioned_scan" out of memory Process returned exit code 1. I hadn't yet set log_min_messages to 'notice'. But as client_min_messages is at 'notice', aren't this displayed on a verbose pg_restore? Maybe during the weekend I can have more verbose logging. Now I'm repeating the backup (maybe the file is bad) and then I will repeat the restore with log_min_messages to 'notice'. I suppose log_statement to 'all' is no longer necessary?
