Dear All,
What would be the easiest and fastest way to migrate Postgres 8.2.24 32 BIT to a new server 64 Bit.
The existing server runs on 32 bit architecture and has a database as big as 160GB.
We initially thought of using PITR, but as one of the PITR requirements is both machines need to be similar.
This similarity needs to be even in architecture? I think I read something which says “Yes”.
If we cannot use PITR what would be the best approach, we can’t have down time I am afraid.
Any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome.
Thank you very much
Best regards
Renato
