Does the table you overwrote the data change much?
If not it might be safer to just fetch it from the April 20th dump and
then apply the changes since then.
If you where to restore at the file level I would:
1) Stop the server.
2) Move the existing content of /var/lib/pgsql/10/data/ somewhere else
just to be safe.
3) Copy in the backup.
