    Why can't he just do a

    Then copy dbname.sql to a jump/thumb drive on the old laptop
    copy the data from the jump/thumb drive to the new laptop
    create the new db in 9.5
    and use pg_restore to load the his_dbname.sql ?


Because it's not the same version, so that will cause some errors.

pg_dump is backwards compatible to version 7.0.

But i guess we should be able to live with that.
Thanks, i guess i was thinking a bit too rigid.
