I was leaning towards pg_dumpall, but then I realized that it only

pgdumpall .... | gzip > dumpfile.sql.gz
That deals with compression. But if you want to use the new
parallel-restore feature in 8.4 pg_restore which can be *way* faster if
you have multiple cores available then you will need to backup using
pg_dump with the custom format (-Fc).
