Hello all,

I have created a backup via 'pg_dump -c -f mydump.backup' - however when I
try to load it via pg_Admin tool, it does not allow me to - the 'OK' button
is grayed out even though I have selected the file to be restored...is this
doable?

Thanks...Michelle

pgAdmin's restore tool can use tar and custom dump (-Ft and -Fc options
of pg_dump).
