Please refer this scenario where i am getting error like:
"psql:output_script4.sql:95: error: backslash commands are restricted; only
\unrestrict is allowed"
if i run the .sql file  generated by pg_restore command

Steps to reproduce:
./pg_dumpall  -Ft -f  dump.tar
./pg_restore -Ft dump.tar  -C -v -f output_script.sql
run this .sql file against a new cluster ( \i output.script.sql)
restore will be done successfully but there are a few error like this
psql:output_script4.sql:95: error: backslash commands are restricted; only
\unrestrict is allowed

Is this expected?
