Description
- this is not backed up with the rest of the VM due to bandwidth limitations and available tape drive space
- use
--jobs
(which requires--format=directory
) to speed up the backup by using multiple cores - also dump other vegbiendev DBs (eg. geoscrub)
- run
pg_dumpall --globals-only
as well to back up user accounts - note that recovery with this method requires
initdb
before restoring
