Heck, no! Occam's Razor shaved again! (Even though it seemed improbable, it was the only option left.) I installed cygipc 1.11.1 on the other machine (which has the mosaic new-system + 'old' postgres) linked to the data, pgdumped all and HEUREKA it worked!!! Thank you all so much for your kind help. Btw. I assume that I am not the only one whose data got lost and as we all know, backup is for newbies! The pro does not err and does not need backup, right? :p So if others have the same problem, they will hopefully find the following helpful: 1. Download Postgres 7.2.x (I still have the tarball and will keep for 1/2 year a copy. I will send a copy to whoever requests it) 2. Install Postgres (old) 3. Download cygipc 1.11. Either from the site below or I can send it too. 4. --remove-as-service cygipc 1.13 or 1.12 (if that's what you have) 5. tar xvfj cygipc-1.11-1.tar.bz2 6. --install-as-service it 7. pg_dumpall 8. Repeat steps 3 to 6 replcing cygipc 1.11 with 1.13 back 9. Reinstall pg 7.3.x 10. Restore and you are done! Thank you all again for your contributions. guenter -----Original Message----- From: cygwin-owner AT cygwin DOT com [mailto:cygwin-owner AT cygwin DOT com] On Behalf Of Jason Tishler Sent: Tuesday, March 11, 2003 7:41 AM To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Subject: Re: cygwin archive?

Just use cygipc 1.11-1: http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/cygipc-1.11-1.tar. bz2 > which does not make a whole lot of sense. Do not shoot the messenger, but there was a change between 1.11-1 and 1.13-2 that prevents backwards compatibility. > There is NO version 1.10 of cygipc aka. ipc-daemon on > http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/ available > for download. Sure there is: http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/cygipc/cygipc-1.10-1.tar. bz2 Jason -- PGP/GPG Key: http://www.tishler.net/jason/pubkey.asc or key servers Fingerprint: 7A73 1405 7F2B E669 C19D 8784 1AFD E4CC ECF4 8EF6 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
