Thanks Scott, great idea. Does one use pg_restore to restore the files that
pg_dumpall creates?

Another thing to check is that your global data (i.e. user accounts) are
being backed up. pg_dumpall does this, but individual pg_dumps do not.
In our prod environment we run a backup of those accounts with
'pg_dumpall -g' every night as well.
