Can I backup/restore a database in a sql script?

Hi,

I want to write a sql script in which I backup a database and restore a new (altered) version of that database. Is that possible? If so , can anyone give me an example of how to do that? 

I can run it from any command prompt (psql -U postgres template1 < my_db.backup)    but I would like it to run from psql (which should give me 1 script for all platforms I must do this: Windows, FreeBSD and Debian)

TIA

Joost
