Are there SQL commands that can do a backup over a client connection,
rather than from the command line like pgsql etc?

By that I mean some kind of SELECT commands that can retrieve the
database's content as SQL commands that can be replayed to a server to
restore it, rather than something that saves directly to file, or
passes it through a pipe?
