Dear Eduardo ,

What is the most recommended way to backup a
PostgreSQL database?



pg_dump --disable-triggers -U <user_name> -a -d -b -D -Fc -Z 9 -f <filername.tar.gz> <dbname>
+
A file system backup could be done but for this you will have to shutdown PostgreSQL server
before filesystem backup is done


And to restore it?

pg_restore --disable-triggers -U <user_name> -d <dbname> <backupfilename.tar.gz>
IN case of Filesystem backup just stop PostgreSQL and replace the Dumped or Tared file of the
filesystem

And ofcource the PostgreSQL documentation itself
