# Enabling Backups for Global Objects in PostgreSQL Databases

You can back up information about global objects (such as roles) in a PostgreSQL database. To back up global objects, the Commvault software uses the `pg_dumpall` utility with `-c` and `-s` options.

It is supported only for PostgreSQL agents with indexing V2 enabled. For PostgreSQL agents, this is enabled by default for newly installed clients in Feature Release 11.30 and more recent versions.
