Recovery from another installation

Dear Sirs,

my question if it is possible to recovery a set of databases from a
directory 'data' of a different machine.

I have a machine with Postegres 2.5 and Windows 2000 crashed (OS does not
start) but with filesystem OK, and another machine (with XP PRO and Postgres
also 2.5). Can I copy the 'data' directory of the first machine (W2000) to
the second machine? what I have to do?

Thank you.

Domenico

postgres 2.5 ??? wow ... that's an old version... Consider an upgrade...

From what i know, it shouldn't be a problem, because it's primarily the same
sub-version... It would be another story if it was from 2.5 to 2.6 (in that
case, you should use pg_dump_all) ... But i really don't know if with a so
low version everything could go fine ...

Greetings ;) (and consider an upgrade :P)
