How do I copy my database(s) to a different computer?

Question

Anyone have a step-by-step procedure so I can copy my database(s) to a different computer? I tried to use PostgresSQL PGAdmin method but it gives me an error saying it's an invalid file. I can't see exactly how to do it using the tools within Openerp. I think this would be the better method if it were possible, but ANY method that works would be appreciated. Thank you for being helpful.

Backup databases:
1. openerp login screen        click [Manage Databases]
2. under Database Management   click [Backup]
3. choose your database / password ( default admin) then click on [Backup]

Copy all database backup files to new computer

Restore databases:
1. openerp login screen        click [Manage Databases]
2. under Database Management   click [Restore]
3. choose your database file / enter password ( default admin) name your database then click on [Restore]

If you have a problem with "database manager" method, you can try with this:
DUMP DataBase from source server:
pg_dump -f oe-mydatabase_backup.sql mydatabase_name
RESTORE on destination server:
psql -f mydatabase_backup.sql mydatabase_name
You need remember if have a custom addons then need copy the server files.
