Since you will be restoring your data to a 8.3 server, you should use 8.3 pg_dump, yes. > I thought I read it some where in the mailing lists.

After setting tcpip_socket to true and granting access using pg_hba.conf, you can connect from 8.3 machine to 7.1 machine (you may need to change your firewall settings, etc), like: pg_dump -h ip/hostname/of/7.1/machine dbname -f dump.file You don't need to compile and install 8.3 to 7.1 machine. -- Devrim GÜNDÜZ, RHCE PostgreSQL Danışmanı/Consultant, Red Hat Certified Engineer devrim~gunduz.org, devrim~PostgreSQL.org, devrim.gunduz~linux.org.tr http://www.gunduz.org Twitter: http://twitter.com/devrimgunduz
