Hello,

My DB crashed without any recent backup.

I have old DB files.

Can i use "base" folder files to restore ?

Thanks

Franck R.

Yes, but it's only reliable if the file-backup was taken while the
database wasn't running.

I'm assuming PG won't restart with the current files? What do the logs show?
