Hi,

I needed to pre install my laptop, so I backed up my database , but now when I try to import it I have problems.

I do everything as described in the FAQ section, but when the import process starts the pgAdmin program becomes non responsive and stays like that.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

You created a .backup file in pgadminIII and now want to RESTORE that file?


You can ignore pgadminIII if it says "program is not responding". It's still working! So don't close the program in task manager, just wait until the task is finished.

Restoring a 1 GB .backup file (that will turn into a 12 GB database) can take a few hours.
