I am having the same problem: System: the released Postgres 8.0, winXP Install performed an initDB. Tryed all types of backup/restore combinations, see below: Using: pg_dump --format=t --blobs myDB > DBFile pg_restore --create -dbname=crm DBFile Resulted in: pg_restore: [archiver] unsupported version (1.13) in file header NOTE: File was created from pg_dump and then tried as an input to pg_restore. File was not viewed or modified in any way. ************* Using: pg_dump --format=t --blobs myDB > DBFile Resulted in: pg_dump: [custom archiver] WARNING: ftell mismatch with expected position -- ftell used ************ Using: pg_dump --format=t --blobs myDB > DBFile Resulted in: pg_dump: large-object output is not supported for plain-text dump files pg_dump: <Use a different output format.> *********** Tom Lane wrote: > Cesar Schneider <cesar@xxxxxxxxxxx> writes: > > When I execute pg_restore I get this error: > > pg_restore: [archiver] unsupported version (1.13) in file header > > There is no 1.13; you have a corrupt dump file.
