I think pg_dump is likely, yes, if you have that scheduled. I don't think anything in the log file will identify it as pg_dump explicitly (I believe as far as the server is concerned, pg_dump is just another client), but if you're concerned about this, you can add the client pid (%p) to log_line_prefix in postgresql.conf, log the pg_dump pid through whatever mechanism manages that, and compare. --- Maciek Sakrejda | System Architect | Truviso 1065 E.
