For routine backups it is generally not your best option in PostgreSQL. PITR or warm standby are generally more useful for routine backups of any database big enough to worry about run time. For my purposes, pg_dump is mostly useful for dumping schema as SQL statements or dumping data from individual tables. Prior to the availability of pg_upgrade our main use was for upgrades from one major release to another, but I now see it as a pretty narrow niche utility -- at least for my shop. -Kevin -- Sent via pgsql-admin mailing list (pgsql-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-admin
