Hello everyone, I'm facing issues restoring my PostgreSQL database. It was originally backed up from the /data folder, but now the physical machine has failed with damaged disks. I only have a backup from that folder. The setup was on a Windows system using PostgreSQL 8.2. After installing the latest version and creating an account, I replaced the /data directory with my backup, but the database service still won't start. I've checked all accessible configuration files and adjusted the path to match the original location, yet it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks.
