Subject: speeding up backup with -Fc -Z ?
Date: Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:50:46 -0400
Message-ID: <4899F286.70509@lexum.umontreal.ca> (raw)

Hello,
During our backup, we are using pg_dump (sql format if no LO) and then 
gzip to compress the sql file.
I read that the "custom" format can also compress ( -Z option) the dump.
Does someone use the latest to dump/compress backups ? Could it be a 
good way to speed up the backup ?


Regards,
