(I think) that was the point I was trying to make. Oracle lets you backup
while up and running (using export) OR when offline (copying db files)...
However, it looks like postgres will require a file system level backup to
recover from. Or will you be able to build a new db from the dump file,
and then apply the WAL segments?
