What version are you using.... and yes it's possible if you're using version 7. herbert On Wed, 3 May 2000, Ze Luis wrote: > how do i do backup of my databases in Postgresql.

I don't understand the answer : you mean it is possible to backup (pg_dump) while users are still connected to the DB ? Andthis should be available only for version 7 ? Not versions 6.5.x ?

Everything I have read indicates that there is no need to take down the database server before doing a backup. This is true regardless of the number of connected users and what they are working on at the time. In fact pg_dump fails unless postmaster is running. The only reason you would want to stop the server is if you backed up from the filesystem using tar. > -----Original Message----- > From: Nicolas Huillard [SMTP:nhuillard@ghs.fr] > Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2000 3:29 AM > To: pgsql-admin@postgresql.org > Subject: RE: [ADMIN] backup of my database... > > I don't understand the answer : you mean it is possible to backup > (pg_dump) while users are still connected to the DB ?
