A cron job can always do the job using pg_dump/pg_dumpall, in case you need the incremental backup you can opt for PITR WAL based archive logs...

Hello All, What strategies are people using for automated, script-based backup of databases? There are a few I can think of: 1. Create a "db_backup" unix user and a "db_backup" pgsql user. Grant READ access to all objects on all databases for the "db_backup" pgsql user. Create a .pgpass file in the home directory of the "db_backup" unix user. Backup as needed with a script run as the "db_backup" unix user. 2. Create a "db_backup" unix user and repeat above, except using the "postgres" db user. Thanks, -Josh ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
