What pg_dump backup modes do people usually use for a backup of an
entire database cluster? I usually use plaintext and pipe it through
gzip, however, that doesn't allow you to restore single objects from a
complete backup.

Is there a way to back up the entire cluster using the "t" or "c" output
mode for pg_dump? What is the difference between "t" and "c"?
