a)
user =
postgres
b)
pg_dump version =
/usr/bin/pg_dump -V
pg_dump (PostgreSQL) 13.16
c)
DB version
select version () ;
version
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PostgreSQL 13.16 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-44), 64-bit
use this script for backup
pg_dump -Fp -p 5432 -U "$USERNAME" "$DATABASE"
using username = postgres
for one of the DB (ver 13.16), it worked fine by doing oldvm = pg_dump from ver 13.16 and
later restoring in new VM with new OS and new db binary 15.09, post creating dummy db (appln related) and restoring the pg_dump from oldvm .

What user are you running pg_dump as?
What version of pg_dump?

It is either psql or pg_dump. psql is the CLI client for the Postgres
server. If you are using psql as an alias for Postgres(sql), don't, it
only adds confusion.

Not sure why? It still a community supported version and will be through
November 2025.
