PostgreSQL worst practices

Talk by Ilya Kosmodemiansky

This talk is prepared as a bunch of slides, where each slide describes a really bad way people can screw up their PostgreSQL database and provides a weight - how frequently I saw that kind of problem. Right before the talk I will reshuffle the deck to draw ten random slides and explain you why such practices are bad and how to avoid running into them.

When he says to use backup instead of pg_dump is he referring to filesystem level backup, or another tool?
