No. As the saying goes:
There are only two types of users: Those who have lost data and
those who will.
Anyway, you have brought this important issue to my attention --
PostgreSQL's need for pg_dump/pg_restore can be adversely affected by
Cygwin setup.exe's automatic upgrade functionality. Unfortunately, I'm
not sure how to solve this problem.
However, Cygwin setup.exe's cache should have all previous versions
installed including PostgreSQL unless one deletes them. Hence, the old
PostgreSQL version should still have been available for the pg_dump
phase.
