Hello All,
I am having following PostgreSQL & Linux version
 
 PostgreSQL 8.2.0 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4)
 
I am trying to create the backupfile using gunzip utility
 
pg_dump qsweb | gzip > /usr/local/backup/backup.gz
But when I run this command i get error
 stdin: not in gzip format
tried with 
pg_dump qsweb | gzip > /usr/local/backup/backup.tar.gz
but same problem again
Can any body please suggest what is going wrong
 
Thanks In advance
With Regards
Ashish...
