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:
