Read the release notes.

Why in the world are you considering an upgrade from a six-year-old
release to a three-year-old release?  Do yourself a favor and move
onto something more or less modern.  If 8.2.4 is too bleeding-edge
for you, then 8.1.9.

            regards, tom lane

Why are you only upgrading to 7.4 ? If you can go further and up to 8.2.x.

All your questions are precicely answered on the postgresql.org
web site. The differences between versions and revisions are
in the release notes of 7.4 (direct link on the front page)

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/static/release.html#RELEASE-7-4-17

The other question regarding WAL replication (which isnt probably
not fully what you want, but a start)

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/continuous-archiving.html
