Hi Ronald,
I am not a postgres or database admin but I hope I
could help you somehow.
Backup'ng of database like postgres uses a special
command like pg_dump.
pg_dump and psql are your friends and will help you
a lot. dont forget to use
manpages you can find the options to dump with all
the create statements
you might need.
I dunno why you use tar to backup the database,
maybe you have a special reason?
