Can tar read the file correctly? If so, does it find a file named 1765.dat therein? (Historically, the tar code in pg_dump/pg_restore has not been as well debugged as the custom format, so you might want to just use -Fc instead. If you're really intent on using -Ft, be prepared to help us debug it.) regards, tom lane
