Hi. I just got a new computer, followed the steps in the faq for making a backup, then tried restoring it on my new computer. The restore has been running for twelve hours now and it says its not responding.

Postgres.exe is running at 8% cpu usage in task mananager though.

My db is 4.51 gb. Is this normal for the restore to take this long?

BTW, I had postres 8.2 on old computer and have 8.3 on the new one. Not sure if that matters. Thanks in advance!!

How big is the db on your old computer? Please use this method: http://208.109.95.123/forum/showpost.php?p=7254&postcount=2

just got back from lunch, and it had finished.

for what its worth to anyone else in my situation, the twelve hour period it was restoring the computer was set to "turn off display" after 20 mins. in the hour in finished, i had set this setting in vista to never turn off display. I have no idea if that helped or not, but when i got back, the db was restored.
