Did you back up and restore the WHOLE data directory at once? Or did you restore only parts of it? When restoring, did you: - Stop PostgreSQL - Check with "ps" to ensure no 'postgres' or 'postmaster' instances were still running - Move the old data directory out of the way - Copy the backup data directory from your backups - start PostgreSQL ? Have you checked the file system and disk to make sure they're OK? -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
