Get a command prompt. If you do not know how go to your start menu and
run cmd
cd to the directory that has the file. If you do not know how to do that
  type CD progra<tab>\posge<tab>\8.0\bin
<tab> means hit the tab key and it will complete the name for you.
then pg_dumpall >backup.sql <enter>
and it should create a file called backup.sql but to be honest I do not
use postgres under Windows. Windows is okay for clients but I find it
messy for servers.
