Hi guys, I encounter weird error that I am trying to solve for few weeks and finally decide to ask here.

dbbackup.db.exceptions.CommandConnectorError: Error running:  pg_dump --dbname=postgresql://postgres:abc123@localhost:5432/postgres --format=custom
[WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Note

• am using windows
• running python manage.py mediabackup works.
• Used version 3.3, failed. then update to 4.0.0b0 Release, still failed.

I have tried set using connector also failed. anyone encountered the same issue?
