PostgreSQL has its own inbuilt mechanism for backing up the database. you can refer to the postgres manual online for more information.

AFAIK Dominic needs a plug-in certified by Symantec, and that is not the case.

As you may have read prior to this mail, the common way is to pg_dump
against a file, picking up that file later with BackupExec as a
regular file.

We are currently (www.globant.com) using it that way, no problems at all.
