I have not made a backup from my old data directory, but I still have the directory in tact. In my current database I have the same Schema, etc... When I try to restore the database (using pgadmin III), I receive this error:
/Applications/pgAdmin3.app/Contents/SharedSupport/pg_restore --host localhost -- port 5432 -- username "postgres" --dbname "postgres" --role "postgres" --no-password --format directory --verbose "/Library/Postgres/9.5/data"
pg_restore: [directory archiver] could not open input file "/Library/PostgreSQL/9.5/data/toc.dat": No such file or directory
I am not sure where the toc.dat came into play, as I am not familiar with it. This is evidently halting the restore, but I do not know how to fix that issue.
