The pg_staging tool allows you to do that quite easily, once you've done the initial setup (involved, but nothing fancy). https://github.com/dimitri/pg_staging http://tapoueh.org/pgsql/pgstaging.html If you want to exclude the table from the dumps though (data loss issues are looking at you), what I would advice is create a dedicated schema and skipping the whole schema at dump time, using the following option: --exclude-schema=schema Do not dump any schemas matching the schema pattern. The pattern is interpreted according to the same rules as for -n. -N can be given more than once to exclude schemas matching any of several patterns.
