Well, here's what I use to snapshot the database every night:
/usr/bin/pg_dump -Ft -b dspace | gzip -9 > /var/lib/idea/db.tar.gz
Change the names and paths to suit your envorinment, of course. The
result should be suitable for loading with 'pg_restore'. It will

Hope this helps.

Forgot to mention - I am running the latest versions of DSpace (1.5.1) and
PostgreSQL (8.3) on both machines. And also the latest Apache and Tomcat 6.
