I use pgAgent packaged with PostgreSQL to schedule pg_dump backups. Pg_dump doesn't require the db to be offline. The nice thing about PgAgent is that it works
both on Linux and Windows.
Here is a quick primer on how to do it

Hope that helps,

Subject: [NOVICE] Automating Postgres Backup
Hi,
I'm using Postgres 8.3 on Windows Server to store data from an Apache/Tomcat
Web Application. I'm using pg_dump to backup the database manually on a
daily basis.
Can someone recommend a solution or 3rd party application to automate the
backup process? Ideally, I would like to do this without taking the
application off-line.
Thanks,
gcj
