Hello @Warfan_Khan 

What I'm about to post is a workaround for your problem. You can also backup the QSR table by using pgAdmin.

It is very simple and faster then manually running the the pg_dump. All you need to do is to install the latest version of pgAdmin, connect your database, right click the QSR table and select backup.

Here is a link where you can download pgAdmin Download (pgadmin.org)

In case it doesn't fit for you. I would start trying to upgrade PowerShell to 5.1.
