Why can't he just do a
pg_dump -F p his_dbname > his_dbname.sql
Then copy dbname.sql to a jump/thumb drive on the old laptop
copy the data from the jump/thumb drive to the new laptop
create the new db in 9.5
and use pg_restore to load the his_dbname.sql ?

Because it's not the same version, so that will cause some errors.
But i guess we should be able to live with that.
Thanks, i guess i was thinking a bit too rigid.

Cheers,
