Pushing binary data around on Windows is always a hazardous proposition.
So what you are saying is "in the last 5 years you've been extremely
lucky?" :-)
Yup, particularly now that you mention moving the files between machines.
What did you do that with exactly?
Trying to answer your question (I hope I understood correctly, English is not my mother tongue)

I believe what Tom was asking is what mechanism/tools do you use to move the 2 files below from one machine to another?

What I do is, given a database, to COPY every table to a file, and then pack them up in one with a zip (except this table, that's been excluded from compression for its size and consequent compression time), so my backup is made up by 2 files, one with "normal data" and one with the result of COPYing this table to a file.

A question that comes while I'm writing: but pg_dump with custom format is not using COPY with binary format?

Thanks
Moreno
