BTW, if you're going to go to that much trouble, you should ask on -
hackers about putting some of the pg_dump functionality into
functions, since this isn't the first time people have asked for a
non-pg_dump backup solution. It would make sense to abstract things
that were reasonable out of pg_dump and into the database itself if
there's really that much demand for this.

Another option would be providing some means to call pg_dump(all)
from a database connection.
