   Take a look in the ~postgres user's home directory.  (/var/lib/postgres
on Debian).  Debian keeps the last set of binaries around, and has some
scripts to dump and restore databases on update, but it hasn't always
worked transparently (as we found out last month..).
   If it partially worked, there may also be a db.out containing the SQL
text necessary to recreate the database.
   Your mileage will vary considerably on other distributions.
You can probably unpack old rpms/debs and run the binaries in those if they
aren't preserved or their output preserved already.
