I ran into this problem today as well, so here's the answer for the archives. In order to restore from a job whose FileSet has readfifo=True [1], you need to have a program to read from the fifo that's created. I.e., simply doing: $cat /tmp/bacula-restores/path/to/fifo > /path/to/final/file.sql Should be enough. In order to restore that to pg, you'd have to use pg_restore, as the instructions on the wiki use the custom format for the dump.
