1. pg_dump is a nifty utility designed to output a series of SQL statements that describes the schema and data of your database. You can control what goes into your backup by using additional flags.
   Backup: pg_dump -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d mydb > backup.sql

   Restore: psql -h localhost -p 5432 -U postgres -d mydb < backup.sql

   -h is for host.
   -p is for port.
   -U is for username.
   -d is for database.
