Hello, I've a 11.4 cluster on a Linux host with 3 production database, all below /data/postgresql11.4/ (i.e. the cluster itself is /data/postgresql11.4/data) fully configured an running fine. I want to move it "cold" (i.e. when it is shutdown) by tar to another host, BUT without the database (due to PII and GDPR relevant data). Between the source and target host there is no network. Of course I could, after moving all the PostgreSQL software (all is below a top level directory /usr/local/sisis-pap/pgsql, compiled by me) and setup the cluster from scratch on the other host, but I wanted to have it all in one shoot by tar. Is there a way to exclude the databases from the move by tar, or by some sophisticated pg_* command?
