A faster way to copy a postgresql database (or the best way)

Question

I did a pg_dump of a database and am now trying to install the resulting .sql file on to another server.

I\'m using the following command.

psql -f databa

Improve pg dump&restore

PG_DUMP | always use format directory with -j option

time pg_dump -j 8 -Fd -f /tmp/newout.dir fsdcm_external

PG_RESTORE | always use tuning for postgres.conf with format directory With -j option

work_mem = 32MB
shared_buffers = 4GB
maintenance_work_mem = 2GB
full_page_writes = off
autovacuum = off
wal_buffers = -1

time pg_restore -j 8 --format=d -C -d postgres /tmp/newout.dir/`
