Re: Incremental Backup of a particular database

pg_dump is a utility for saving a PostgreSQL database into a script or an
archive file. The script files are in plain-text format and contain  the SQL
commands required to reconstruct the database to the state  it       was  in
at  the  time  it  was saved.

"At the time it was saved" What is the meaning of this statement?
