Yes, any. For instance: - you are on the remote machine (which should store the backup) ssh remote "pg_dump ..." > backup.sql - you have the pg_dump installed on the backup-machine: pg_dump -h remote ... > backup.sql - you are on the server: pg_dump ... | ssh backup_server "cat - > backup.sql" (all untested, but should work) Andreas -- Andreas Kretschmer Kontakt: Heynitz: 035242/47150, D1: 0160/7141639 (mehr: -> Header) GnuPG-ID: 0x3FFF606C, privat 0x7F4584DA http://wwwkeys.de.pgp.net
