            <p><b>IMPORTANT NOTE</b>: <postgres/> <proper>8.3</proper> and <proper>8.4</proper> installations utilizing tablespaces should upgrade immediately from any <proper>v1</proper> release and run a full backup. A bug prevented tablespaces from being backed up on these versions only. <postgres/> &amp;ge; <proper>9.0</proper>
            is not affected.</p>
