Backup DLL

Hi,
 
Is anyone aware of a standalone DLL that can be integrated with applications for pg_dump and restore without resorting to asking clients to use tools like pgAdmin for their backup and restore cores?
 
Thanks

AFAIK, there is no such thing. But you can use pg_dump in a pipe - that's all pgAdmin does.

If your programming tool supports it, you can just build the
pg_dump.exe command line and execute it. Your application just needs to
have a folder included with pg_dump and the supporting dll libraries.

It sounds like you are trying to automate administrative tasks.  If that's what you are trying to do, you may be well advised to use any one of the Unix/Linux/BSD operating systems: They all have far superior and simpler task automation tools such as cron and fully functional shells, something which windows servers desperately lack natively.
