Hi.

I'm sorry to bother you in private but I'm not recieving the ML posts
for some reason and even though I've written to the ML owner he/she
hasn't still repied for some reason. So I read via web and send via
email client :-)

In your reply you told me that I'm not using pg_dump to restore. But as
you can see in my previus message I am using pg_dump :-)
