my apology, i tried to be brief.
i've got a main database, where all transactions end up. Daily we make a
backup (pg_dumpall) and restore the first database in a sort of backup
database. This backup database is mainly used to do reporting.
To automate this process for the backup database and to minimize the
out-of-sync state, i should like to use replication.
The second backup database is only used as read-only,
except for some third party software that writes to 1 table.
