`Backup Globals Dialog`:index:
******************************
Use the *Backup Globals* dialog to create a plain-text script that recreates all
of the database objects within a cluster, and the global objects that are shared
by those databases. Global objects include tablespaces, roles, and object
properties. You can use the pgAdmin *Query Tool* to play back a plain-text
script, and recreate the objects in the backup.

Use the fields in the *General* tab to specify the following:
* Enter the name of the backup file in the *Filename* field. Optionally, select
the *Browser* icon (ellipsis) to the right to navigate into a directory and
select a file that will contain the archive.
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Role name* to specify a role with
connection privileges on the selected server. The role will be used for
authentication during the backup.
Move switches in the **Miscellaneous** field box to specify the type of
statements that should be included in the backup.
* Move the *Verbose messages* switch to the *No* position to exclude status
messages from the backup. The default is *Yes*.
* Move the *Force double quote on identifiers* switch to the *Yes* position to
name identifiers without changing case. The default is *No*.
Click the *Backup* button to build and execute a command based on your
selections; click the *Cancel* button to exit without saving work.
