Independent backups of subdatabases
I'd like to organize tables into different groups. This is for 3 reasons:
1. Each group needs to be backed up and restored independently from the others
2. Each group has different permissions for particular users
3. As an aid to human understanding organization
I would do this as actual databases, but Postgres doesn't allow JOINs
and FKs between different databases. Can I use schema for the above?
How? How do I backup and restore schema independently?

pg_dump --schema= ...
and drop schema, create schema prior to a restore of a given schema

Just be aware that a schema only dump has the following restriction:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/app-pgdump.html
-n schema
--schema=schema
Note: When -n is specified, pg_dump makes no attempt to dump any other
database objects that the selected schema(s) might depend upon.
Therefore, there is no guarantee that the results of a specific-schema
dump can be successfully restored by themselves into a clean database.
