What I don't get is this: you said your CPU died. For me that's the processor or maybe some interpret that as the main board. So why don't you grab the harddisk from that server and plug it into the new one? Maybe something might be corrupt due to the failure, but most of the data should be on the disk (unless you use disks which lie about fsync). Yep - another reason why one has at least a daily backup (in my case 2 replicas for every production server I run. I never had a major failure in over 15 years - knock on wood - but if that happens I don't lose a heck of a lot due to the backups and slony replicas) Uwe -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
