backup/restore postgresql database

[Acm]

I am working with Python 2.5 and Postgresql 8.2.4.

I would like to know how to perform the backup and restore operations
on postgresql through a python API (e.g. psycopg2).

Thank you.

I don't know much about postgres, but here's what my google-fu turned
up:

You can probably use the subprocess module to connect to it and use
the pg_dump command as well that is documented here:
