We just tar/gzip the entire data directory.  It takes all of 20 sec.  We've successfully restored from that also.  The machine you are restoring to *must* be running the save version of postgresql you backed up from. 

If you successfully backed up in 20 seconds, then you have a tiny DB.  Also, if you successfully restored from that style backup, your DB must not be written to much, or you were extremely lucky to get a consistent state.
