Postfix mail queue is stored in a file system. Database queue files are
not supported.

Even if you are able to access the files on the failed host you should
not copy the files from one host to another since you could lose email
this way. If you are using shared storage, you can configure another
Postfix instance on a second host to manage the queue directory without
copying. You must ensure that there is only one Postfix instance running
at a time that accesses the same queue directory. It is best to start
the second Postfix instance when you are certain the first one is no
longer accessing the queue directory and be sure that when the first
host comes back up, Postfix does not start automatically.
