Hello, first excuse my English
U cant do a backup whit a Client minor version than the server
U must have same version to do the backup, so U need upgrade your client (pg_dump 8.4.13) to at least 9.2.4

Hi
I wanted to take a backup of my database.
pg_dump throws a server mismatch version error
# cd backups
# su - postgres
-bash-4.1$ pg_dump mydb > mydbfile
pg_dump: server version: 9.2.4; pg_dump version: 8.4.13
pg_dump: aborting because of server version mismatch
This is a fresh install of postgresql on a red hat linux server that did not have any previous database installed on it . I installed postgresql 9.2 from an rpm (pgdg-redhat92-9.2-7.noarch.rpm ) using yum install.
Why am I seeing this error?
How can I take a backup of my database? There are two tables that have 20,000+ rows in it, that I want to backup and restore when needed.
thanks
thara.
