pg_dumpall archive.  If you look at the backup file, you'll find that
it's just straight SQL.  If you want to restore a particular database
out of it and not all of them, then you will need to edit the sql file
to include only what you want to restore.  Then you simply pass it

Thank you all for your help.

Could anyone please share his or her backup and restore script? I want
to backup all databases plus schemas in one server via crontab every
night and restore one or all of the backed up databases to another
server when I need to.

Thanks again.
