如何在没有psql和pg_restore的情况下还原PostgreSQL数据库备份？

Question

I am using postgresql on an embedded device running yocto (customized linux). The package containing postgresql does not provide psql or pg_restore. /usr/bin provides the following tools:

pg_basebackup indicates that I am able to create backups. But how am I supposed to restore a backup within a terminal? With pg_restore or psql this would not be a problem for me.

Please note: I want to use a backup created on my windows/linux computer to create the initial database on the embedded device.

Answer 1

Create backup of the db using command:

pg_basebackup -h {host_ip} -D pg_backup  -U {USER}

for restoring just change the data folder to pg_backup. Now start the psql server.
