The way I do it (learned from others on this list) is to backup the schema(s) with my data in them; I store my data outside the public schema to accommodate this. Works great, especially at upgrade time (not overwriting newer functions). I used PgAdmin to backup a few items from public schema, e.g. added srids, and geometry_columns table from public schema, then saved the resulting script to add that to my backup.
