To add to this what SHOULD (ha!) work is to dump the database partition

Depending on how the database works; specifically when old data in the
log may or may not be expunged. You could do this with PostgreSQL by
using it's PITR support for example. But to the extent that you have a
log which is only supposed to be used for internal reasons (such as
with pg by default), you'd likely be in trouble anyway unless you had
a specific reason to know that it is safe.
True. If the log rolls on you while you're taking the dumps you're DEAD.
Both design and verification are important :)
