Re: pg_dump

i read that you can copy the contents of pgsql's data
directory to create a backup, too. in order to
restore the db, you clean out the data directory and
then copy the "backed up" files back in to the data
directory.

i have no experience using this method, but i thought
i'd mention it to see if anyone else has done this.
