Like: > pg_restore: [archiv?? (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: relation "pg_ts_cfg map" already exists <Snip> Normally you restore onto a system that doesn't have the database already. Obviously if you try to do that you'll get messages saying the tables already exist. You can ask for pg_restore to drop the tables before restoring them, but for obvious reasons this is not the default.
