# let's create a backup from remote postgresql database using pg_dump:
#
#   pg_dump -h [host address] -Fc -o -U [database user] <database name> > [dump file]
#
# later it could be restored at the same remote server using:
#
#   sudo -u postgres pg_restore -C mydb_backup.dump
#
#Ex:

pg_dump -h 67.8.78.10 -p 5432 -Fc -o -U myuser mydb > mydb_backup.dump

pg_restore -C mydb_backup.dump



#complete (all databases and objects)

pg_dumpall -U myuser -h 67.8.78.10 -p 5432 --clean --file=mydb_backup.dump


#restore from pg_dumpall --clean:

psql -f mydb_backup.dump postgres #it doesn't matter which db you select here
