Re: backup improvements

Yes, good idea!

Also, blocking the UI during backups and restores is a pain. I often setup the backup in pgadmin but then execute it from the command line, so that my pgadmin doesn't block. (Or else I open a second instance of pgadmin so that I can continue to work while the backup or restore takes place.)
