To be more precise, pg_dump supports dump from servers down to 7.0, so you can do it: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/app-pgdump.html Now the output may not be compatible with a 9.1 server and may need manual editing. Also, be careful that 9.1 servers do not support synchronized snapshots for parallel jobs, hence you may finish with an inconsistent dump if your server has write activity during the dump. Btw, if you are running on 9.1.2, update to 9.1.15. You are missing 3 years worth of many bug fixes, some of them being critical. -- Michael -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
