NAME
pg_restorecluster - Restore from a pg_backupcluster backup
SYNOPSIS
pg_restorecluster [options] version cluster backup
DESCRIPTION
pg_restorecluster restores a PostgreSQL cluster from a backup created by pg_backupcluster. The cluster will be newly created in the system using the name provided on the command line; this allows renaming a cluster on restore. The restored cluster configuration will be updated to reflect the new name and location. The backup name passed must end in either .basebackup or .dump; usually this will be the full path to a backup directory in /var/backups/postgresql/version-cluster/ as reported by pg_backupcluster ... list. Basebackups are restored as-is. For dumps, pg_createcluster is used to create a new cluster, and schema and data are restored via pg_restore.
OPTIONS
-d --datadir DIR Use DIR as data directory for the restored cluster (default per createcluster.conf, by default /var/lib/postgresql/version/cluster). -p --port N Use port N for restored cluster (default is next free port). -s --start Start cluster after restoring (default for restore from dump; off for basebackup restores). After the cluster has been started, ANALYZE is run on all databases. --archive Configure cluster for recovery from WAL archive. This sets restore_command to retrieve WAL files from backup/../wal. --pitr TIMESTAMP --recovery-target-time TIMESTAMP Additionally to setting restore_command, set recovery_target_time to TIMESTAMP for point-in-time recovery. Also sets recovery_target_action='promote'. --wal-archive DIR For archive recovery, read WAL from archive DIR (default is backup/../wal).
