My current DB backup routine is just to call pg_dump and pipe to gzip.
We recently started to get a failure to restore (which is basically just
using psql -f on the pg_dump file) with the following errors:
invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xa0
and
invalid byte sequence for encoding "UTF8": 0xd7 0x20
This is on a pg 9.2.24 instance. Any tips to troubleshoot?
Simple. Fix the offending string and upgrade.
Failure to enforce correct encoding is a bug in PostgreSQL, and a
number of such bugs have been fixed over the decades, so you might
be happier with a less ancient version.

Yes I thought I had seen some info on bug fixes in newer versions. I
will pass this on to the system admins/stakeholders.
Thanks,
