Paiz <rpaiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > I do this all the time. Postgres stores its data files in /var/lib/pgsql/data by default. Stop the server on your laptop. This will close the files. You can then copy that whole directory over. As long as you install into the same directory, you should be able to just restart postgres. You may need to make changes to the pg_hba.conf and pg_ident.conf. -- Edward M. Croft Sr. Systems Engineer Open Ratings, Inc. 200 West Street Waltham, MA 02451-1121
