How do I restore a plain text postgres .backup file
16
I exported a postgres db from pgAdmin in a plain format because I wanted to search the whole db text. I then tried to restore the database back but it gives an error saying that the archive file is not valid archive file. How do I restore the db back if it can be restored?

it should, if psql frontend is included in the postgresql package. Try to fire up a terminal, then cd to postgresql bin directory and try to run psql
