I am not sure I understand your question. why does the type of backup matter? It is a tape backup and it includes the entire /var directory where the pgsql directory exists. I am trying to determine what particular files need to be retrieved in order to restore the database as it existed yesterday. Is this possible?
Thanks for the assistance.

Tell us more about how the backup was made, then we can tell you more
about how to restore it.
