Restore a PostgreSQL backup
Restore the Database
Use pg_restore to restore the database. Make sure to exclude the public schema and restore into your newly created
database. Open a terminal and run:
export PGPASSWORD=<YOUR PASSWORD>'; pg_restore -h <YOUR_HOST> -U <YOUR_USER> -d <YOUR_DATABASE> -v --no-acl --no-owner --exclude-schema=public path/to/your/backup_file.backup
- The --no-acl and --no-owner flags ensure that the access control and ownership settings from the backup file are not
applied.
- The --exclude-schema option to exclude the "public" schema during the restore process for security reasons.
