The design of the PITR system allows a product-agnostic backup. Anything
that can backup a file can backup PostgreSQL. There is no need for
special certifications of hologram logos.

You may need to write a few lines of script to do it, but that's not a
problem surely?

So you can use pg_dump or PITR, as you choose.
