Looking over the manual http://www.bakbone.com/docs/APM_for_PostgreSQL_Users_Guide.pdf it would appear to simply be a gui front end for pg_dump / pg_dumpall. Either spend $1079 or learn how to write a crontab file... I'd rather write a check to the core developers than give my money to folks who are writing a pretty front end to the worlds simplest command line tool.

People think they are smart because they follow its advices. Same goes for the money: the more you spend, the more intelligent you are ... Take these $1079 as a sign that PostgreSQL is gaining confidence (joke). Cheers, Jean-Michel
