I have a little bash script that is called by cron to make a backup of the db, as well as being able to pull a copy of our production db to my local machine for development.
It requires that you have a .pgpass file setup to connect to your database without entering a password.

Yes I agree but I didn't know enough about PostgreSQL to make that determination. Seems very logical however. Does anyone know of a PostgreSQL backup script floating around the Internet for Linux systems? I found a great one for MySQL but sadly that doesn't do me any good.
