Hello.
I have a not bootable Windows Server with Postgres 8.1; now I am trying to recover it but as I can't boot the windows; I can't start the postgres service and I can't do a "Backup"
So; I only have the postgres directory on my hands. I decide to install the same database version in another computer and replace DATA directory; but I notice that 8.1 (windows binary) is not available for download.
So; I don't know how to recover the database from the data directory of a windows postgres 8.1 installation.
Can you help me?
