I need to create nightly backups to separate computer over internet from 8.1
server

I tried to run pg_dump to make backup using command

"..\pg_dump\pg_dump.exe" -i -Z9 -b -v -f "C:\061127 mybackup.backup" -F c -h
81.50.12.18 -U myuser -p 5431 mydb

Reducing compression (change -Z9 to something like -Z0) might help a little, depending on the processing power of the server and available bandwidth. If you really want compression, you could do the dump over a SSH connection and gzip on the client end:

$ ssh 81.50.12.18 "pg_dump -Z0 -Fc -ibv -U myuser mydb" | gzip -9 >mybackup.backup
