Hi,

We have scheduled postgres full backup on centos 7 machine. DB size is around 66 GB. We observed while backup is running, postmaster CPU % reaches to 90 - 100%,which results very strange behavior: that we are not able to perform any DDL and DML on to the database during the time.  
Please suggest a way to limit it's CPU utilization or else let us know how we can access the database during the backup window. Please let us know on priority since this is our prod database.
Get back to us in case of any query/detail.

Regards,
Shiwangini
