Hi,
now I have another problem. Sorry I am an absolute beginner.
When I restore the dumpall backup with
"psql -f infile postgres"
I get lot of errors > "already exists" and the database is not restored to the point of the backup.
I mean after I made the backup I changed something and I expected that this change is undone after I restore the backup which did not happen. Looks for me like nothing was restored … ?
Thank you for your help.
Regards,
Robert

Hi,
I try to make pg_dumpall backups from a PostgreSQL 9.5 server which is
part of the DaVinci Resolve 12.5.3 App on a Mac OS X 10.11.6 system.
Unfortunately I get following failure message:
pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": FATAL: password
authentication failed for user "postgres"
Maybe you can help me to solve this problem.
Two choices:
1) Determine what the password is for the postgres user and provide it when
you connect.
2) If you have access to the pg_hba.conf file create a access line that uses
trust as the auth method for user postgres connect that way.

OR you could use the -l switch and specify another db.pg_dumpall -l mydbnamehere
