I am doing a backup/restore test of a 'quite large' database
I ran the following backup
pg_dump -Fc testdb -U postgres > /var/lib/pgsql/backups/pg_testdb_backups/testdb_dev_backup$date_of_backup
then I connected to postgres db and did
drop dbtest
I then attempted to do a restore:
pg_restore -d testdb -j testdb_dev_backup201304141900
starting yesterday afternoon but then I came in this morning it is still running and as far as I can tell no data or Linux files have been written
1. Is pg_restore hanging and/or have I done something wrong?
2. Is there a way to check on the progress (% completed) for the pg_restore procedure?
Thanks
