I am very new to Postgres and have always worked in the mssql world. I'm
looking for suggestions on DB backups. I currently have a DB used to store
Historical information that has images it's currently around 100gig.

I'm looking to take a monthly backup as I archive a month of data at a
time. I am looking for it to be compressed and have a machine that has
multiple cpu's and ample memory.

Suggestions on things I can try ?
I did a pg_dump using these parms
--format=t --blobs lobarch

it ran my device out of storage:

pg_dump: error: could not write to output file: No space left on device

I have 150gig free on my backup drive... can obviously add more

looking for the quickest and smallest backup file output...

Thanks again for help\suggestions
