Performing PostgreSQL FSBased Backup Set Restore Operations

You can perform a full instance restore from a FSBased backup set.

You can restore to the same instance where you performed the backup, a new instance on the same backup client, or a client that is different from the backup client.

Individual database or table-level restore is supported for a block-level backup operation. For more information, see Restore PostgreSQL Database Tables and Instances from a Block-Level Backup.

Before You Begin

Perform a backup.
Verify that the PostgreSQL software version on the destination is the same version or higher than the version of the source.
You must create an instance or cluster instance (If it is a cluster restore) on the destination client before initiating an out of place restore.
For FSBasedBackupSet, stop the PostgreSQL server and delete or rename the data directory, user tablespace directory, archive log directory and transaction log directory that is outside the data directory.

Note

For FSBased backup set, it is assumed that the data directory path and tablespace location in the source and the destination clients are the same. If they are different, then redirect the data directory to a different path by performing a redirect restore operation.
For FSBasedBackupSet, the source computer and destination computer should have the same operating system.
