But I don't understand why I'm getting those messages about autovacuum

runs to gather statistics for the Execution Planner. But why is
happening this block? Is autoanalyze running before the table gets
fully
loaded? Is this really a problem? If so, how can I handle it? This
task
is running at night, when nobody is using second database.
Thank you for reading,

It is normal to get these "canceling autovacuum"-messages when
restoring a database, just ignore them.
If it bothers you, just turn autovacuum off by setting this in
postgresql.conf:
autovacuum = off
and reload the config (SIGHUP)
The server stores more Production databases and I don't want to
interfere with them, and turning off autovacuum will affect all of them.
I've been looking for other parameters that could help me to avoid
autoanalyze during backup restoration but all of them (at least the
ones I've been exploring) have sighup context associated, like
autovacuum. Is there any parameter (in v8.4) that could somehow stop
autoanalyze only in the connection used to restore the database?
