Hello Tom,
thanks for your answer.
There is no direct access between source and target server
so I will restore without job (-j) option.
By chance, the schema size to restore is not so huge.
Regards

12.5, actually. But the point is that you need to use 12.5 or later
pg_dump to get the benefit of the fix. 9.1's pg_dump will produce
an archive with insufficient dependency links, allowing the parallel
restore to execute steps in the wrong order.
You could use the 12.7 installation's pg_dump to extract data from
the old server. However, doing that across the network might slow
things down enough to outweigh the benefit of being able to restore
in parallel later.
