question about backing up postgresql w/ pt3

Suppose I just Copy - Paste the entire folder postgresql and the entire poker tracker 3 folder as well onto an external hardrive ... then suppose the original hardrive crashes and you copy - paste all the files from that external hardrive onto a new hardrive, would everything be working properly on that new drive? If not, what would you have to do to get everything working normally again? Hopefully by copy - pasting (space is not an issue) there could be a simple fix if any.
Thank you
