  2. Click an instance.

    The instance page appears.

  3. In the Backup sets section, click a backup set.

    The backup set page appears.

  4. In the Database groups section, click the database group that you want to back up.

    The database group page appears.

  5. In the Backup section, click Back up now.

    The Select backup level dialog box appears.

Note

  • If the database part of a database group (other than default) is renamed or removed, the backup content for the database group needs to be updated manually. The old database will not be removed automatically.

  • Backup operations using DumpBased backup set does not include roles and tablespace location information. This is because pg_dump utility that is used to perform DumpBased backup operation does not back up roles and tablespace location information. You can save this information using pg_dumpall utility from the source.
