Did you back up using the old version of PgAdmin-III with the old
pg_dump? If so, problems restoring into PostgreSQL 9.1 are likely.
If possible, dump the old database using the *new* pg_dump. If you're
using the PgAdmin-III GUI, connecting to the old DB from the new PgAdmin
on the new computer should do the trick.
