Hi all,
 
Is it possible to back up only part of my database for example from tables which have data from April to July 2006, if so what will be the command for that.
 
Thanks a lot in advance

Roopa,
You can use the command pg_dump to backup specific tables.   But you won't be able to
restrict the backup to specific rows.  (You can always create a separate table just for backups,
and dump just that table).

COPY command might also help....

COPY (SELECT * FROM country WHERE country_name LIKE 'A%') TO '/usr1/proj/bray/sql/a_list_countries.copy';

Details can be found at --> http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-copy.html
