Hi Abdul,

We do realize that. With tar format, is there a way to customize the path used for temporary local files?
Some way to configure another drive instead of using C:\?

I would try this solution: https://superuser.com/a/1448861/278835<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsuperuser.com%2Fa%2F1448861%2F278835&data=05%7C01%7Cmnair%40commvault.com%7C25d823f8dd8e45dfcbd808da697ebb45%7C40ed1e38a16e46229d7c45161b6969d5%7C0%7C0%7C637938290274062926%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=pbt6xRe2cpru0n%2B7kNFpiGgeAm7BzfYYjIvTWEWUD%2BY%3D&reserved=0>

Try dumping without tar format. https://dba.stackexchange.com/a/52730<https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdba.stackexchange.com%2Fa%2F52730&data=05%7C01%7Cmnair%40commvault.com%7C25d823f8dd8e45dfcbd808da697ebb45%7C40ed1e38a16e46229d7c45161b6969d5%7C0%7C0%7C637938290274062926%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=wMZcngDmewkZK4uQl04IGkf9SBg4YLViVUQAjLtNN94%3D&reserved=0>

Hi team,

pg_dump is filling C:\

This is for postgres version 12. Binary directory, data directory are in E:\
I'm redirecting pg_dump output also to E:\, I was taking a tar dump output.
But C:\ is getting filled up . Looks like it is used for some sort of temporary staging.
Is there a way not to use C:\ for this?

Regards,
Meera
