In response to Size of PostgreSQL backup ./. Sybase DUMP  (Matthias Apitz <guru@unixarea.de>)
List pgsql-general
I don't know anything about Sybase, but if that dump is something akin to "pg_dump", then you are comparing apples and
oranges.

Moreover, the base backup is compressed, and I don't know if the Sybase dump is.

If you had used PostgreSQL v13, you could check the backup for completenes. But the best test for a backup is to
restoreit.
 

Yours,

FWIW, if this is of any help, Sybase dumps are conceptually very similar to those of MS SQL Server.  That being said, I
don'thave any other insight to offer but hoping this might help someone else.
