Hello, my pg_backup_rotated.sh script ran fine since Dec 20 and after rebuild the slave now it's broken and I do not know why. I can run pg_dumpall > /tmp_all_db_backup.sql but not from the script. From the log its pg_dumall: could not connect to database "template1": FATAL: Ident authentication failed for user "postgres". I tried to reset postgres in psql as "alter user postgres with PASSWORD 'xxxxx'; (as same as the old one and the postgres os). I run pg_backup_rotated.sh as postgres and it promp me for the password and then password for user postges and repeat it again and again until all the databases backup. >From the script it gives me pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres" and even I run the script as root, it prompted me for password, it gives me pg_dumpall: could not connect to database "template1": FATAL: password authentication failed for user "postgres" Typically, I make a backup based on the current day, and rotate the seven days in the backup file name, all successful until Feb 19. How can I resolve this issue? Any good backup tips I should be aware of. Thanks for all the tips Bach-Nga -- Sent from: https://www.postgresql-archive.org/PostgreSQL-general-f1843780.html
