I second Karl DeBisschop's comments below. It took me hours to get
postgresql working on an HP/UX system, compared with minutes on Linux.
I'm using Linux as our main database server now.
By the way, I know about using pg_dump to backup the database and I do
that. Is there a good way to maintain a second identical copy of the
database on another machine? Will simply copying the dump over and
restoring it with psql do the trick? Would I need to delete an old copy
of the same database first? We have a somewhat slow Internet connection
to our Linux system's location and it would be nice to have an alternate
site with the same data.
