I'm visiting a pokerfriend for a couple of days and I'm gonna use his laptop instead of bringing my desktop.

We both have PostreSQL 8.3

I made a backup at home from my database using the Backup option in PGAdminIII (pgdump.exe) and brought it on a USB stick.

I restored the DB.BACKUP file on my friends laptop using the restore option in PGAdminIII and it finally finished after 4 hours. I however don't see the restored DB in PGAdminIII or in DBControlpanel.exe

I did some googeling on this and found something that if the DB already exists, it gets restored but if the DB is not present a script is created to rebuild the restored DB. I don't know how to do this however.

Can anybody help me with this?
