That’s a good sign! If the .tar file was created, it means the pg_dump command has likely worked. However, to be
absolutely sure, you can try restoring the database in a new database and check if all the data is there. Here’s how
you can do it:

1. First, create a new database:

createdb -U your_username -T template0 new_database_name

Replace your_username with your actual username and new_database_name with the name you want to give to the
new database.

1. Then, restore the dump file to the new database:


pg_restore -U your_username -d new_database_name -1 your_database_name.tar

Replace your_username with your actual username, new_database_name with the name of the new database, and
your_database_name.tar with the name of your dump file.

1. Finally, access the new database and check if all the data is there:
psql -h localhost -U your_username -d new_database_name

Replace your_username with your actual username and new_database_name with the name of the new database.

This way, you can verify if the backup was successful without affecting your original database. Let me know if
