Your effort would be far better spent on updating your old servers to a
current version.  Particularly the 7.1 server --- do you have any idea
how bad the unfixable bugs in that one are?

hi tom
We have got a Itanium server running redhat advanced server 2.1 and
postgres 7.1.3 ...i have got fedora core 2 on my system ...as our
applications run on the itanuium server...i thought it would be better
if we dumped our database on the server ....so if any of you something
about the procedure ...pls mail me...thanx
