Hi, It would be super nice to have support for PostgreSQL backups via the pg_dump command! Thanks for your great work by the way.

Thank you. I will take a look at pg_dump. As I'm using MySQL, I don't know how it works. I guess it's like mysqldump? Is there something like xtrabackup for binary backups of PostgreSQL databases?

Yes, pg_dump is very much like mysqldump I think. It's an online backup tool which can export in several formats (SQL, "custom" and "directory"). https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/backup-dump.html
