Re: Incremental Backup of a particular database - Mailing list pgsql-admin

You can use pg_dump while the application(s) that use the database are
active.  pg_dump saves that database at a point in time.  If the
application(s)
continue to modify the database after you use pg_dump, the script/archive
file created by pg_dump will not contain those modifications.
