I am new to PostgreSQL and have questions regarding the backup procedure.

How do I check whether a PostgreSQL database was backed up successfully? And how do I monitor the backup?

I have tried the following command to backup the database, but there's no output:

pg_dump [connection-option...] [option...] [dbname]

  • What you show is not a runnable command. It is the synopsis from the man page. Please show the command you run. Commented May 15, 2019 at 13:19

The test is to restore the backup somewhere else.

Monitoring can be done via the return code of pg_dump: if that isn't 0, something went wrong.
