pg_dump, pg_restore

Did you check if your pg_restore was successful?

I think you need to include the following option while using pg_dump &
pg_restore

-C, --create include/issue commands to create database

Basing on the way you did the pg_dump (without the -C option), I think you
should have created the database before you performed the pg_restore,

You can see some examples of database backup/restore in this page:
