Hi,
What is the best pg_dump format for long-term database
archival? That is, what format is most likely to
be able to be restored into a future PostgreSQL

Anyway, 20 years is a _long_, _long_ time.
Yes, but our data goes back over 30 years now
and is never deleted, only added to, and I
recently had occasion to want to look at a
backup from 1994-ish. So, yeah we probably do
really want backups for that long. They
probably won't get used, but we'll feel better.
Thanks.
