Are there tools available to automate backing up databases? I would
like to setup my PostgreSQL install to automatically backup databases

with little to no user intervention... I'd like to know how to do this
in both Windows and Linux. I imagine I could write some kind of script
or something on my Linux server but I have absolutely no idea how to
implement this on a computer running Windows.
On Linux, you'd do as you mentioned write a script to do the dump.
You'd schedule the script to run at the approriate time using cron.
