Try it with plain pg_dump.

I tried this, but nothing appears to happen when entering the commands. Attached is a screenshot of the shell window - what am I doing wrong?
those are system shell commands, not psql sql commands. catch-22, in the windows environment, postgresql's command tools probably aren't in the path, so to execute the above commands try this...
start -> run -> CMD <enter>
(or, click on an 'Command Prompt' shortcut).
C:\Users\YourName> path "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin";%path%
C:\Users\YourName> pg_dump -Fc -p 5432 <dbname> | pg_restore -p 5532
Thanks. When I do this I get an error: could not find a "pg_dump" to execute - I've used the path "C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin";%path% which appears to be correct
if your postgres is installed somewhere else, replace "c:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\9.4\bin" in the PATH command with its actual location \bin ....
