and all the PostgreSQL files. My question is if I restore this snapshot will PostgreSQL work? I know if doing a typical file system backup of PostgreSQL I must first stop the postmaster or the backup will not produce a useable PostgreSQL system. Is it necessary to stop the postmaster for this snapshot backup also?Yes if the snapshot (filesystem) backup and restore is performed when postmaster is NOT running you can reproduce it.
I have done this with command
dump <-- for file system backup
Filesystem ext3
