It would be practical to have in the menu an option
like to back-up the base, but by now you have to do it
from the terminal console through pg_restore.  For
example:

pg_restore -d databaseName < backup.sqlc

or

pg_restore -h xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -U userName -d dbName <
backup.sqlc

If you are in a remote machine.
