I currently have Postgres 9.0 install after an upgrade. My database is
relatively small, but complex. The dump is about 90MB.

Every night when there is no activity I do a full vacuum, a reindex, and
then dump a nightly backup.

Is this optimal with regards to performance? autovacuum is set to the
default.
