A file system backup could be done but for this you will have to
shutdown PostgreSQL server
before filesystem backup is done

pg_restore --disable-triggers -U <user_name> -d <dbname>
<backupfilename.tar.gz>
IN case of Filesystem backup just stop PostgreSQL and replace the Dumped
or Tared file of the
filesystem
