We have implemented this, with a couple of additional checks
<https://forge.continuent.org/plugins/scmcvs/cvsweb.php/sequoia/src/org/continuent/sequoia/controller/backup/?cvsroot=sequoia>
This code is generic, designed to support not only PostgreSQL.
We could try to externalize it into an independent project if a
significant number of people are interested and... provided it's not
too hard to detach it from sequoia (no promise here).
We also interested by alternatives approaches.
