[GENERAL] About Pgdump
Hi all, I want to take backup of our online system on daily basis using crontab. But actually the pg_hba.conf is configured with password security. How I can take the backup without setting password. Or is their any other way to take backup. TIA regards, Deepa K ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

You could su to the postgres superuser to do the backup or maybe use a .pgpass file (needs at least 7.3 IIRC).

Not for 7.3: touch ~/.pgpass chmod 0600 ~/.pgpass echo '*:*:*:username:password' ~/.pgpass Note that this presumes you are logged in as the user who will be dumping the database(s).
