Re: postgres backup ( logical using pg_dump) using AMANDA

Yes, by wall logging I meant to say PITR backup.
We have a need for logical backup (pg_dump) in addition to PTIR backup
using wall logs.

I can't quite understand why there is no plugin for pg_dump since it is
such a popular tool to do logical backup.

Thanks.
