Well as Bruce said this option won't solve the OP's problem, unless the application he's using for managing the backups do use the option. The current solution seems to be to use a packaging system that allows installing several major versions at any time, and use this ability to properly migrate data. Hint: debian does just this. http://manpages.debian.net/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=pg_upgradecluster http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/pg_upgradecluster.8.html Regards, -- dim -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
