I do this quite often for testing purposes.  If the dbs are on different
machines, then, from a place that can connect to both machines,
something like:

// if the slave_server db exists:
dropdb -h slave_server -U superuser dbname
createdb -h slave_server -U superuser dbname
pg_dump -h master_server -U superuser dbname | psql -h slave_server -U
superuser dbname
