Hai ilya, Thanks for the respond. The database is estimated over 100gb and the workload will be high. Can we use a pg_basebackup with pitr to restore based on transaction time?

Usually if you have more than ~200Gb, better to use pg_basebackup because pg_dump will take too long time. And please take in mind, that pg_dump makes dump, which is actually not the same thing as a backup.
