pg_dumpall is a PostgreSQL utility that enables full-cluster backups, including roles, tablespaces, and database configurations. For database professionals, it ensures seamless migrations and disaster recovery.
Key concepts include cluster-wide backups, role preservation, and restoration strategies. Unlike pg_dump, which backs up individual databases, pg_dumpall captures the entire PostgreSQL instance.
Common challenges include long backup times, large dump files, and version compatibility issues. Our blogs provide expert tips, performance tuning, and troubleshooting solutions to optimize pg_dumpall usage.
