Hi Mickey,
This is what I use to do a similar thing. You need to use pg_dumpall which
should be in the bin folder of your postgresql distribution.
Run this command (I'm assuming the user postgres is your DB superuser) :-
pg_dumpall -U postgres > /tmp/alldata.dmp
This should dump your entire database cluster into one file. You can then
transfer this file to your other machine for restore which can be done like
this (again, you will find the psql command in the bin folder) :-
psql -U postgres < /tmp/alldata.dmp
You can put the dump into any dir or file I've just used /tmp and
alldata.dmp for no particular reason.
Hope this helps. :))
