Hi Postgres Guru's,
Is it possible to use the Hot Backup (PITR Backup) of PostgreSQL on an
Operating system to restore the database on other Operating system.
Thanks & Regards
Raghu

files directly off the database server. The only way to move from one
platform / architecture to another is to use a 'logical' method vs. the
physical copy involved with PITR.

Nope, Hot Backup (Online Backup) of PostgreSQL, on One OS/File System
is not compatible with the Other OS/FileSystem.<br>
<br>
</font>If you want to Move the Database from One OS/File System to
other OS/Filesystem then use pg_dump/pg_dumpall command to take the
backup of database.<br>

You other option is to use Slony. Create replica and in a short outage you
can move master to replica.
