Using pgAgent allows me to monitor backup status remotely using pgadmin or making sql queries to pgagent schema, without need to log-in and open RDP port in server. So I'd prefer to use pgAgent even for simple backup if possible. Andrus ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
