A windows 7 computer went bad but the hdd is still operable. Is there a way to transfer the db data directories to another computer or does it require a dump and restore?
the data directories should work as-is on another Windows computer with the same major version and 'build' of postgresql and same 32 vs 64 bitness. By 'build' I mean like enterpriseDB installer vs BigSQL vs custom-built. if custom built, the build options will need to be pretty much the same (visualC vs gcc/mingw vs cygwin, and the same general ./configure options, etc etc).
