PostgreSQL backup restore












0















I am using Postgresql 9.5.10 for developing vehicle tracking application and taking daily backups as pg_dump Custom format. But while restoring the same it shows.



$ pg_restore -h localhost -d dbname -U user  -a tracking_data.sql
pg_restore: [compress_io] could not uncompress data: (null)

  • That error sounds to me like the end of file is reached while it is expecting more data.

Use psql to restore plain SQL (like in your example) script file generated by pg_dump and pg_dumpall tools.



psql -U username --set ON_ERROR_STOP=on -f backupfile.sql 


The command above is restoring a database and stops if error occurs.



pg_restore is used to restore tar file and directory format created by the pg_dump tool.
