Don't use pg_restore, do the backups/restorations outside of PostgreSQL:

- run on a server with a snapshot-capable volume manager, use that for quick
restores
- just try using rsync from a backup copy of the base data directory

(either of the above require PostgreSQL to not be running during the
restorations)
