Using XP Pro and Postgres 8.3
I made a backup of the "Data" directory of the Postgres Installation
to another place on the hard disk.
Now the customer has uninstalled postgres then reinstalled a new one.
Of course the original tables are all gone.
Is there a method of retrieving the original tables and data from the
backedup Data directory.
If you can get the same version that they used to have you, should be
able to start it on the same platform. Look for the PG_VERSION file in
the data directory.
Download from http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/
I'm assuming that your backup took the entire directory tree under data
and postgres wasn't running when you did it?
