D'oh. Would this be a regular thing? I suppose we could do it weekly.

As for the pg_dumping of it. I suppose it would work on this table as it
is only a couple million rows and not terribly big data-wise. The other
tables in this db are rather big and a load is not fast. (It is about
8GB).

Yeah, linux. We're planning on upgrading when we relocate datacenters at
the end of August. This machine has actually been up for 486 days (We're
hoping to reach linux's uptime wraparound of 496 days :) and the only
reason it went down then was because the power supply failed. (That can
be read: pg7.0.2 had over a year of uptime. lets hope 7.3 works as good :)
