I guess I don't understand what that option does:

=>pg_dumpall -U Admin --exclude-database MailPen >zzz.sql
pg_dump: error: could not write to output file: No space left on device
pg_dumpall: error: pg_dump failed on database "MailPen", exiting

I expected a tiny file, not 3.5GB.  "MailPen" is the only database (other than what's pre-installed).  Do I need quotes on the command line?
See at:

Your cmd lacks =
=>pg_dumpall -U Admin --exclude-database=MailPen >zzz.sql

regards, Ranier Vilela

I read that before posting, but missed that.  Old command line patterns die hard!

However, the result was the same:  3.5GB before running out of space.
