I currently have Postgres 9.0 install after an upgrade.  My database is
relatively small, but complex.  The dump is about 90MB.

Every night when there is no activity I do a full vacuum, a reindex, and
then dump a nightly backup.

Is this optimal with regards to performance?  autovacuum is set to the
default.
