Sometimes you want to copy the whole DBMS to another machine where the same
postgres version is running. You can just copy the ./data directory, check
the permissions (chown -R postgres ./data) and run postmaster with this data
directory (postmaster ... -d ./data).

Note: Like that, you can't copy a certain database. You have to use the same
postgres version for that...
