I've never written a script so do I just use 'Vim' to open a new file and just paste the following line? #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/pg_dumpall | gzip > /var/db_backup/pg_backup-$(date -I).sql.gz Is that all I need to do or is there more steps / data involved? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
