The full pg_dump command line is this: pg_dump --verbose --format=directory --compress=0 --column-inserts --clean --if-exists --serializable-deferrable "${_PG_HOST_ARG}" "${_PG_PORT_ARG}" --username="${GM_DBO}" -f "${BACKUP_DATA_DIR}" "${GM_DATABASE}" 2> /dev/null And this is the restore: sudo -u postgres pg_restore --verbose --create --dbname=template1 --exit-on-error -p ${GM_PORT} ${BACKUP}.dir/ Thanks, Karsten -- GPG 40BE 5B0E C98E 1713 AFA6 5BC0 3BEA AC80 7D4F C89B
