Thread: Postgres 12 backup in 32 bit windows client
Hi! Postgres 12 is installed in Debian 10 server. Client computer is running 32 bit windows. pg_dump.exe which can downloaded as part of Postgres 12 windows installation is only 64 bit version. How to make backup from Postgres 12 in 32 bit Microsoft windows computer ? psqlodbc is used for data access. Maybe there is 32 -bit version of pg_dump.exe. Andrus.

The newest I can see is for 10.12: https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads and you would not want to use that to dump a version 12 database. What are you going to do with this backup? Do you have shell access to the Debian machine in order to do the backup there? > > Andrus. > > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com

If server disk crashes, it can used to restore data.

I have but my application user in 32bit windows does not have.
I want to allow 32 bit windows user to make backup from 5432 port directly
to her computer C: drive.
If Postgres 12 32bit pg_dump is not available maybe it is possible to create
stored procedure which invokes pg_dump in server and returns .backup file as
bytea value to client:
select run('pg_dump mydatabase')

What about you make the backup on the db server with cron and then have her
copy the file to her computer using WinSCP?
