The owners of the animal hospital where I work at want to consider live/hot backups through out the day so we're less likely to lose a whole day of transaction. We use Postgresql 8.0.15. We do 3AM backups, using pg_dumpall, to a file when there is very little activity.
You probably want to look into PITR, you can have a constant ongoing backup of your data and never lose more than a few minutes of data. The overhead isn't all the big especially if you are shipping the log files to a separate server.
