Using the Backing up a Qlik Sense Site document as a guide, http://help.qlik.com/sense/en-US/online/Subsystems/Server_deployment_and_configuration/Content/Qlik%..., I attempting to create a batch file to automate the site backup so I can schedule it.
I found that it expects a password at the command prompt so my script just hangs. Tried passing a password using the -W switch as described in the pg_dump.exe --help, and I'm getting error message "'too many command-line arguments"
Command I'm using:
pg_dump.exe -h localhost -p 4432 -f E:\backup\dump -U USERNAME -W PASSWORD QSR
Using the prescribed command-line from Qlik, pg_dump.exe -h localhost -U USERNAME -W PASSWORD QSR > e:\backup, also produces the same error message.
Tested with first command line based on what pg_dump.exe --help provided.
pg_dump.exe --help gives me:

Hi Sam,
You can use "SET PGPASSWORD=<PassWord>" , so that you are not asked to enter your password manually in your batch file. Please refer to the following link in detail:

Using the WikiI was able to design a script that worked. Thanks for your response!
Hello Sam,
Could you provide your details of your script? I'm unable to get past the prompt following the the wiki site. pgpass.conf file follows the syntax:
hostname:port:database:username:password
SET PGPASSFILE=D:\scripts\pgpass.conf
"C:\Program Files\Qlik\Sense\Repository\PostgreSQL\9.3\bin\pg_dumpall.exe" -U username -p port > D:\backups\pgdump.bak
Could you please share the script with me.
