Yes I agree but I didn't know enough about PostgreSQL to make that

PostgreSQL backup script floating around the Internet for Linux

any good.


   /path/to/pg_dumpall | gzip > /path/to/pgbackup-$(date -I).sql.gz

put this in a script accessible by the postgres user, and in the postgres user's crontab, invoke it something like..

30 1 * * * /path/to/backupscript

to run it every night at 1:30am.  If you only want to run it once a week...

30 1 * * 6 /path/to/backupscript

which will run it on Saturday morning at 1:30am (day 6)
