Brian,
I have no intention of *ever* implementing such a plugin. The first time
someone's backup failed I'd be directly in the firing line :-).
Seriously though, you should make use of pg_dump/pg_dumpall on the server
end to perform your backups (I run pg_dumpall from a script fired by cron,
which then also dumps the whole system to DAT tape). It will always be the
most reliable method of backup, and reliability is by far the most important
thing with backups.
Regards, Dave.
