Dear all,

 

All the while I was doing pg_dump as backup method for my pgsql db. Today I came across File system level backup on Postgresql Documentation.

 

After reading it, I am quite unsure whether File system level backup is better than pg_dump.

 

Furthermore, do we really need to do File system level backup or pg_dump is good enough?

 

Any suggestion is much appreciated.

 

Regards,

ganesh
