What process created this PostgreSQL backup?

I noticed this file on my server:


/Library/Server/PostgreSQL/Backup/dumpall.psql.gz


I didn't do this manually. It's 9 days old so it's seemingly not part of an regularly automated process. Does anyone know what could have done this? or even better, how to automate it?

Mac OS X (10.7), iMac Core 2 Duo

I figured this out. If you are running Time Machine on the server AND NOT excluding System Files, it seems PostgreSQL dumps a backup in this directory once a night. Neat!
