I guess one could try pg_dump but I am still a green eared newbie so don't
take my word for it.

Subject: [NOVICE] Emergency backup question.

Greetings Basically I have a problem here. I lost my linux system due to
hard drive corruption I managed to back up my /var/lib/pgsql/data/base
directory to an ordinary tarball before I redid the system. Is there any
way to use this data as a backup?
and what is the proceedure for a proper backup?
