Export of a PostgreSQL Database

A clear, step-by-step guide that details the process of exporting a PostgreSQL database or node within your cluster. This overview focuses on executing the essential commands to extract your data securely, ensuring it is accurately archived for backup, migration, or analysis purposes—all without delving into advanced export configurations or long-term data management tasks.

Press on the database layout to explore the databases in your cluster.

Next, take a look at the export inventory—your comprehensive list of all exports available for this cluster and other PostgreSQL clusters.

When you're ready to create an export, simply drag a node onto the backup inventory to initiate an export of all databases on that node, or drag a specific database there to export only that database.

Enter the required parameters and then click "next" to proceed.

Instantly, a REST API command is generated—your key to automating future export processes with your DEVOPS tool.

Once everything is set, press "Submit" to start the export process.

You'll see a status update indicating that the export has started, followed by another update confirming that the export is complete.

And there you have it—here is your new logical backup, ready for action!
