I think it would be helpful to know *why* you do this (backup,
forensics, development, shifting load among virtual machines or ???) as
well as a better idea of how often you do this, how long it takes and
the amount of downtime you consider acceptable. That way we may be
better able to come up with a way of solving the actual problem you are
facing.
There are a number of non-core replication solutions such as Slony and
many can migrate a single database or even specific table(s).
