Backup the part of postgres database

Roopa,
You can use the command pg_dump to backup specific tables. But you
won't be able to
restrict the backup to specific rows. (You can always create a separate
table just for backups,
and dump just that table).

Hi all,

Is it possible to back up only part of my database for example from
tables which have data from April to July 2006, if so what will be the
command for that.

Thanks a lot in advance
Roopa
