Hi @EricGT

Thank you so much for your help! I followed all the same steps (with one extra since my file still has tar.gz). I reached the same result with the sql file:

```plaintext
--
-- PostgreSQL database dump
--
.........
SET statement_timeout = 0;
SET lock_timeout = 0;
SET idle_in_transaction_session_timeout = 0;
SET client_encoding = 'UTF8';

```

However, the issue is that when I use PgAdmin to get the data, all the tables are empty and the Users table is just missing.
