Excerpt of article text...

Hello All! Last time we talked about database backup best practices and briefly touched on using pg_dump for backing up your PostgreSQL database. In this article we are going to take a deeper look into pg_dump and how it can be used to back up your PostgreSQL database.

If you remember the command to perform a simple backup from the last article was:

pg_dump -d myDatabase -U craig > myDatabase_bu.sql

As a reminder from the previous article you can run this command while the database is up and running. It will take a backup of all the structures as well as the data. The database you are backing up can be noted with the "-d" option or if you just pass the name of the database as the first parameter that works fine too. I personally prefer having the "-d" option since it makes it clear what is being referenced.
