`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.

If the backup is successful, a popup window will confirm success. Click *Click here for details* on the popup window to launch the *Process Watcher*. The *Process Watcher* logs all the activity associated with the backup and provides additional information for troubleshooting.
