Since you don't specify any dump format, your dump should be plain text
and is compressed with gzip, so the restore command is going to be:
zcat $DESTINO/soi.bkp | psql -d restore_database_name -f -
You have to create the database to restore into first.
------------------------------------------
[Note for documentation:
According to the psql man page:
-Z 0..9
--compress=0..9
Specify the compression level to use in archive formats that
support compression. (Currently only the custom archive format
supports compression.)
However using psql -Z with no format or with "-F p" in fact produces a
gzipped file.]
This might be a suitable amendment to the docs?:
$ diff -u /tmp/pg_dump.sgml.orig /tmp/pg_dump.sgml
