Yes. Use the pg_dump from the later postgres, which can read old versions and generate any output needed for the new version. It's just like any other pg_dump otherwise. > Could you/someone please provide an example of commands which I could use? Usually pg_dump [connection options] databasename | psql [connection options] databasename For instance, if you wanted from the new machine to dump egdb from the old machine and restore locally, you could do pg_dump -U postgres -h 192.0.2.1 -C egdb | psql -U postgres I recommend reading the pg_dump (and if you like, pg_dumpall) manuals before proceeding.
