Absolutely... I'm running this directly on the database server, as the
PostgreSQL superuser, so permissions aren't an issue. I just want to be
very sure that pg_dumpall is getting absolutely everything I need,
because I don't have the resources at this site to do full filesystem
backups of this host.
Thanks much!
