This page:

a) has insufficient coverage of pg_upgrade
b) ignores parallel pg_restore
c) piping pg_dump is by no means always the fastest method

I'll write up a new version later, just wanted to put this note on the
ML so that somebody would bug me before the end of 9.1 beta.

I really could hug you for this warning.

I am translating backup.sgml at the moment.

Means, I will stop after PITR and will wait before I will translate the
rest of the file.
Wait means - I will start to translate another topic first.

Susanne

Hey, you!

I am not sure if you were aware that I re-did the upgrade section of the
docs to clearly mention pg_upgrade and other issues:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/upgrading.html

I am not sure how to mention parallel pg_restore when pg_dumpall can't
be used in parallel restore mode.

Any suggested changes?

Hey, you!

Well, a bit late now. Clearly posting stuff to the -docs list is not a
good way for me to remember it.
