[GENERAL] File System Restore

[Carter Harrison]

I'm running the latest version of PostgreSQL.  I backed up one of my 
databases following the instructions in the postgresql documentation.  
This means that I did shut down postmaster and I tarred the data 
directory just like it says to.  Now, I'd like to restore the file 
system.  I started by just copying the data directory back, but that 
hasn't worked for me.  Can somebody please give me some detailed 
directions on restoring the file system correctly.  I think the only 
thing that is different about this new install of postgresql is that it 
is owned by a different user than before.  Thanks.
