<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">A couple people have already pointed out that creating the postgis extension in the target database before you restore is advisable. Going along with that I also recommend excluding postgis from your backup.
 Postgis is put in the "public" schema so I avoid putting anything else in the "public" schema and then exclude it from my backups. The backups are a little smaller, there are fewer notices when you restore, and upgrading the postgis versions is a breeze.<o:p></o:p></p>
