As far as I can tell, you can only dump one schema at a time. Is this true?

No, pg_dump dumps a whole database by default. You can dump just a single schema or table though.

Hmm, I wonder why I thought this... Was this true in older versions or did I just imagine this? :)

Be comforted, imagination is a trait shared by all highly intelligent people :-)

Try the page below or "man pg_dump"/"man pg_restore" for full details:

I had read the man pages, but I re-read them and I apparently went on a mental vacation and missed a fair chunk of it. *sigh*

You'll almost certainly want the "custom" format for your dumps. You might find the --list and --use-list options useful for restoring sets of tables from a full dump.
