Sorry so long to post back, yes, I decided this approach was best and
found full backup of the PostgreSQL database causes crash while backing
up individual databases (including the largest) does not. Perhaps
Postgres just provides the environment to trigger the crash and might
not be the culprit, but it's the only way I can reproduce at the moment.
I did find the IBM specs for memory of that board and have not compared
yet to the box, maybe soon. Just slammed with work and this box is
replicated. While I don't want it down, I can take my time finding the
real solution if workaround exists. If memory is not right, will change
and re-run the full backup of postgres.
This box is currently running FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE-p18.
