That seems to be fairly old and hence out-of-sync. Things have move a lot
since, for all the products involved.

But still I find it rather harsh on postgresql. 8K row limit is long gone and
postgresql does support online backup, to mention a few.

PostgreSQL now has native windows port, tablespaces and many many replication
solutions, not to mention a list of companies that offer PostgreSQL support.
