A database group is a logical entity that contains the databases that need to be backed up. You can back up specific databases at a particular time or frequency by adding the databases to a user-defined database group for DumpBasedBackupSet.
You cannot create a user-defined database group for FSBasedBackupSet. It can only contain a default database group.
Before You Begin
-
If you have not done so, create a backup plan.
This plan determines when the software automatically backs up the data files. For more information, see Creating a backup plan }}.
-
If you have not already done so, add an instance for the PostgreSQL database.

Note
For Dumpbased backupset, associating a database group to a backup plan will only associate a storage policy, and not a schedule policy. To associate a schedule policy, edit the instance and move the Run dump backups with plan-based schedules toggle key to the right. This will disable the schedule policy for FSBased backupset.
