Seeing as your backup program appears to have corrupted your database, I'd say blowing away the PGDATA dir and running a new initdb is the answer (not reinstalling). Then you need to disable your backup job that caused this problem. And shoot the person who set it up. Or not. That last step is strictly optional. :-) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
