If one wanted to dump some postgres databases for long term archival storage (maybe decades), what's the recommended dump format? Is the tar or plain text preferred, or is there some other approach (xml? csv?) I should be looking at instead? Or should we just leave these in some postgres database and keep upgrading it every few years? -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
