Mr. Caduto,
I downloaded the version from the website recently, so I think it was the newest version. My database backs up in about 10 seconds with pgAdmin III. When I tried to back it up with PG Lightning Admin, I got a sql wait cursor for a couple of minutes, at which point I closed the program. I don't mean to criticize your product (which has some very nice features), just stating what happened.
I agree - EMS PostgreSQL manager does not offer backups and restores via pg_dump and pg_restore.
