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.
By default, backup operations using DumpBased backup set do not include information about roles. This is because pg_dump utility that is used to perform DumpBased backup operation does not back up roles information. To save this information using the pg_dumpall utility, enable backups for global objects in the PostgreSQL database.
