Hi,
There is no 2nd server involved. The pg_dump runs on the server where postgres server is running. The regular dump runs the same way and it completes
Successfully within 3 hours. It’s only parallel dump fails on the table with size about 48GB. We run the pg_dump through an script on the postgresql server
with
Command similar to “nohup ./postages_dumpdb &”;
Thanks

I tried turning off ssl renegotiation by setting "ssl_renegotiation_limit = 0" in postgresql.conf but it had no effect. The parallel dump still fails on large tables consistently.
Thanks

Maybe you could try to setup an SSH connection between the two servers, with a keepalive option, and left it open for a long time (at least the duration of your backup), just to test if your ssh connection is
still being cut after some time.
That way, you will be sure if the problem is related to SSH or related to Postgresql.

I'm wondering about SSL renegotiation failures as a possible cause of the disconnect --- that would explain why it only happens on large tables.
