You posted to a JDBC list, and this has nothing to do with JDBC.
You are much more likely to get useful responses by posting to
pgsql-general@postgresql.org.  When you do, please be very specific
about what version of the software you are using -- perhaps run one
of the executables with the --version option if you can't get the
server started to SELECT version();

Also, be very specific about how the backup was made -- scripts or
copy paste from the shell window or history are best.  This sort of
error could be caused by improper backup or restore procedures, or
by not using the latest minor release of the 9.4 major release --
there have been some important bug fixes related to multixact
handling.
