Thanks again for your advices! I'm using the postgres database. The dump 
utility for it is pg_dump, which - as described in the documentation - allows 
to create a dump without shutting down the database (read only access is 
possible during this process than). The expected usual size of my database 
should be less than 1 GB (uncompressed dump).
