Hi Eli,
I omitted to post that, but I did use them. It seems that others had trouble too as the database is owned by postgres after the restore and it's needed to change the engine user's password when the restore is on a different host. Thanks to all the ones that posted helpful tips, tomorrow I'll try those tips and tell the ending.
Regards,
