You mean like a one-off copy?

pretty-much pg-dump has other non-sql formats but at the end of the
day dumping to SQL (and compressing with something if there's a
significant physical distance to cover) is about as good as it gets.
But if you want a read-only copy that's kept mostly up-to-date there are
other solutions.
