Title: newbie psql - Backup/Restore - database

Hello all,

I just convert a MSQL database to PSQL and wondering if someone can help me to duplicate or restore a database in a short period.  Here is what I have done.

Backup <users> database:
   pg_dump -C -D -n -f backupDB.psql users

Duplicate <users> database:
   1. createdb test
   2. edit the backupDB.psql file and remove the first block regarding users DATABASE
   3. psql -a -e -f backupDB.psql test


Doing this way will take about a hour to duplicate a database with about 50,000 records.  Is there any other ways that you can help me to speed up the process?

All of your help will be greatly appreciated.

Dan
