Backing up Qlik Sense Repository Database

Hi to all,

this might be "dumb" question. But we were testing backup script for QSR as documentation says:

.\pg_dump.exe -h localhost -p 4432 -U postgres -b -F t -f "c:\backup\QSR_backup.tar" QSR​

But instead, we executed 

.\pg_dump.exe -h localhost -p 4432 -U postgres -v -b -F t -f "D:\BACKUP\QSR_backup.tar"

result:

pg_dump: last built-in OID is 16383

Question what does the other scrip without "QSR" at the end does? We can see at set location backup file but it does not have correct size.

 

Thank you for any clarification.

Hello ,

You will need to run the full script to capture a full backup.

 

.\pg_dump.exe -h localhost -p 4432 -U postgres -b -F t -f "c:\backup\QSR_backup.tar" QSR​

According to the documentation:

dbname

Specifies the name of the database to be dumped. If this is not specified, the environment variable PGDATABASE is used. If that is not set, the user name specified for the connection is used.
