All: it would take ~4 hours to pg_restore a backup. I want to quickly create a duplicate cluster (for testing). My idea:

1. pg_ctlcreatecluster 9.1 test
2. rm /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/test/*
2. cp /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/main /var/lib/postgresql/9.1/test
3. pg_ctlcluster 9.1 test start

Is this viable? If not, is there another way to create a duplicate cluster in a timely fashion?
