For 7.2 or less (as well as 7.3 if you want to):

     pg_dump -D -a rt-database-name > dump.sql

(-a is a data-only flag).
(-D says to use column-inserts in case column order changes).

For 7.3:

     pg_dump -a rt-database-name > dump.sql

the only advantage of this version is that it is faster for large volumes 
of data -- but because columns may have changed order (or new columns may 
have been added), it will only work in 7.3+
