Hi, now I have another problem. Sorry I am an absolute beginner. When I restore the dumpall backup with
"psql -f infile postgres" I get lot of errors > "already exists" and the database is not restored to the point of the backup. I mean after I made the backup I changed something and I expected that this change is undone after I restore the backup which did not happen. Looks for me like nothing was restored … ? Thank you for your help.
