> Doesn't a successful pg_dumpall prove the database is intact ?
It is very difficult to prove a negative, that there are no errors.
What a successful pg_dumpall says is that pg_dumpall didn't find any
errors, not that there were none present.
Also, I thought part of the question was how to determine if the output
from the pg_dumpall was itself intact without doing a complete restore.
