Hi,

First of all I think you are better off asking this question on the pgsql-admin or pgsql-general lists or even on an Idart forum.

To answer your question; I’d try using pg_dump or pg_dumpall on the command line and you’ll need to know the database administrator credentials to do a backup. Lookup the documentation for your version of postgres as it looks like the options for pg_dump and pg_dumpall have changed in the last few releases.

Cheers,

Ben
