I'm investigating the use of Postgres for a future project & have installed beta 8.0 using the windows installer which includes pgadmin III. Everything works great, I can create tables etc. Connect from external applications... but, no matter what I do the Backup and Restore options on the pgadmin Tools menu remain disabled (irrespective of selected node in the tree). I can't find any mention of this feature in the online help or on mailing lists etc.
Can anyone enlighten me ??
Backup/restore gui is the newest feature in pgAdmin3; please use the very latest snapshot (2004-08-15) from www.pgadmin.org. Doc has to be written.
You have to select which object you'd like to backup. You can backup a database, a schema or a table.
You have to select a database or table to restore. After selecting the backup file, you can examine it for contents ("view"). If you launched "restore database", you also can select a single object to restore from the contents.
If backup/restore remains disabled when selecting a database, the tools pg_dump/pg_restore are not accessible (path or directory where pgadmin3.exe lives). pgadmin3.zip includes them.
