You're quite right: pg_dump does NOT back up large objects.
(7.1's pg_dump will, but 7.0 and before don't.)
There is a pg_dumplo utility in current sources, a bit late :-(.
I have attached a copy of it that is modified to work with 7.0,
and I think it will work with 6.5, but I don't have a running 6.5
server to check with. Test it out and let us know ...
regards, tom lane
