I think the question is will the data dumped be reliable. Are there
sufficient database locking mechanisms that will prevent tables that are
being dumped from changing during the dump itself.

pg_dump and pg_dumpall may be run while the database is in use without
difficulty. Is this what you mean by "hot" backup?
