pg_dump

pg_dump is a utility in PostgreSQL used for backing up databases. It creates a dump file containing the database’s structure and data, which can be restored later. The dump file can be in plain text or a custom format, making it possible to recreate the database on the same or another server. This tool is essential for data protection, migration, and disaster recovery, ensuring that critical information is safely stored and can be restored if needed.

Backing up and recovering your database is crucial for data protection and business continuity. To backup your database, you can use tools like mysqldump or pg_dump to create a dump file of your database. For recovery, you can restore this dump file or use tools like point-in-time recovery to roll back your database to a previous state.
