Hi there,

Did you create a text or binary backup?

If binary, you either (i) use pg_restore on the command line, or (ii)
use pgAdmin's "restore" option from the menu you get when right-clicking
on the tree view (which just uses pg_restore anyway).

If you created a text backup, you'll need to feed it to psql on the
command line:

psql -f <backup-file.sql> <database-name>

Ray.
