I have windows 2000 with postgresql with cygwin installed.
I would like to setup a cron job to do the following.
pg_dump mydatabase > backup_date_time.dmp.
This job should run 2 times a day at 9.00 AM and 11 PM.
I am new to cron and could someone help me to write this script and where should I save it and how to start this job.

regards
MP
