I could use pg_dump/pg_restore. pg_dump doesn't have to have exclusive
access to database to perform the operation. My only problem is that
pg_dump create a backup on a file, the best to me whould be to have a
perfect clone (users/ data etc) of original database ready to be used
just after the cloning. Is it possible?

Thanks,

Filippo
