This error is caused by lack of PostGIS shared libraries.

In general, to guarantee successful restore, you should have installed all the same extensions/contrib modules/addons/extras, which were installed in the primary server. This will guarantee that all shared libraries are in place.

Install PostGIS (same version) in the server, and retry.

PS. You did not specify your PostgreSQL / PostGIS version, this is needed if you need more help.
