    You can back up postgres with the following commands in root SSH:

    Code:
    su - postgres
pg_dumpall > /tmp/pg111102
exit
    This would save the dump file to /tmp with the name pg111102 (for today's date). You can name the file whatever you prefer and put it into any location you prefer.

    To restore the database dump, you’d do the following:

    Code:
    su - postgres
psql -f /tmp/pg111102 template1
exit

    For taking postgresql backup one can follow the steps below:

    Login to the server VIA ssh,
    su - postgres
    pg_dumpall > /tmp/backup_filename
    exit

    For restoring the backup
    su - postgres
    psql -f /tmp/backup_filename file
    exit
