As a follow-up I ran this command: pg_dump -U username -h localhost databasename -f databasename.20150720 I get this in the console: pg_dump: [archiver (db)] query failed: SSL error: unexpected message pg_dump: [archiver (db)] query was: SET search_path = calendar, pg_catalog PG Admin is telling me the database is 57 G. I was able to do the following command in order to just backup the "calendar" schema with data: pg_dump -U username -h localhost --schema=calendar databasename -f calendar.20150720 So why am I unable to backup my entire database?

Should I just not used --jobs=3 when backing up the full database?
