Enabling Backups for Global Objects in Amazon RDS for PostgreSQL Databases

You can back up global objects, such as roles, in a PostgreSQL database. To back up global objects, the Commvault Cloud software uses the pg_dumpall utility with the -c, -g, --no-role-passwords, and -s options.

Before You Begin

The global objects dump is supported only for clients running indexing. For PostgreSQL agents, this is enabled by default for newly installed clients in Feature Release 11.30 and more recent versions.

Procedure

1. From the navigation pane, go to Protect > Databases.

   The database Overview page appears.

   The instance Overview page appears.

3. In the DumpBasedBackupSet details section, click Edit.

   The Edit PostgreSQL Backup set dialog box appears.

4. Select the Back up global objects check box.

5. Click Save.
