Hi Tyler
I have only little experience with PG backups - but I can emphasize from
that little that it is very helpful to use pg_dump regulary. Better
don't rely on backups of your datadirectory. Although have in mind, that
after a crash you might use different computers. It might help, when
these are tested for successful restore/rollback in advance.
Concerning later server versions you might refer to the PG-Groups an
mailing lists for recent issues. Until now I have restored my database
(private for birding data) twice with diferent versions aof postgres and
it worked just fine. But I have functions only written in PL/PGsql. I
could imagine that you might run into difficulties, when using different
languages in different server versions like Python2 and Python3.
Different Path and Variable settings (e.g. locals) might in that case
also be an issue.

Hi All;
I am thinking about getting IT to install PostgreSQL on our server and
start moving our GIS Data over to the post database. My concern is
backup; we currently backup the whole server onto, what are called
"tapes" but I am sure they are not cassettes or the like, anyway twice
a day the whole server is copied so we can go back to previous
versions of a file or folder to; roll back, restore, or recover. With
this in place do I need to setup a separate backup or replication
service on the postgre database? Could I just "roll back" using a
later server version?
Well.... I guess this is more of a postgre question and not so much a
QGIS one; but I am going to put this out there anyway and if no one
can answer I will find another spot.
Thanks
Tyler
