 Note, the spatial data DB can be run on the same machine as GeoNode or extra. I have installed an extra DB, PostgreSQL/PostGIS that runs on the PostGIS VM (9022 on Lautaro).
-To backup the DB do as follows:
+To backup the DB we use pg_dump (info : [http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/backup-dump.html here]) as follows (note, I am not sure if the -Fc option is best, to be able to re-store the db on different machines/psqls) :
 * <code>sudo -u postgres -i pg_dump -c -Fc geonodegisdb93 > /home/ssteinig/geonodegisdb93.backup</code>
 The data management for this DB is done by GeoServer (see folder ''/usr/share/geoserver/data/workspaces/geonode/datastore'' => file datastore.xml). Hence, it makes sense to backup the GeoServer documents on the GeoNode Server as well:
