Is a database dump the same as a backup? Is it done from within OpenERP or at a command prompt? There is a command in PostgreSQL 9.3 bin directory pg_dump is this the command used?

Yes.

It is done via the Manage Databases link on the login page.

What actually happens is that OpenERP calls the relevant PostgreSQL commands. The exact format of the commands that OpenERP uses for backup and restore is below.

For backup

pg_dump --format=c --no-owner --username=<> --host=<> --port=<> <dbname>

For restore:

pg_restore --no-owner --dbname=<>

... and you can even pipe pg_dump with pg_restore to replicate a test environment from a production one.

I cannot find the Manage Database link in the online verion?
