Run a separate pg_dump for larger tables and run them concurrently so you use more cpu and disk resources. The lower compression levels are fast and nearly as good (in my testing) as full compression. Using compression tends to use up the CPU that would otherwise be wasted since the pg_dump is disk intensive, and then saves further I/O by reducing the output file size. -- Best Regards, Simon Riggs ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
