Hello All,
I am having following PostgreSQL & Linux version
 
 PostgreSQL 8.2.0 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)
 
I am trying to create the backupfile using gunzip utility
 
pg_dump qsweb | gzip > /usr/local/backup/backup.gz
But when I run this command i get error
 stdin: not in gzip format
tried with 
pg_dump qsweb | gzip > /usr/local/backup/backup.tar.gz
but same problem again
Can any body please suggest what is going wrong
 
Thanks In advance
With Regards
Ashish...

Not sure what you're doing wrong, but there's no need to do this. Use
   pg_dump -Fc ...
This format is already compressed.

Check if you have the GZIP environment variable set.
