Hi gianfranco,
How exactly large is your database and how heavy is a workload on it?
Usually if you have more than ~200Gb, better to use pg_basebackup
because pg_dump will take too long time. And please take in mind, that
pg_dump makes dump, which is actually not the same thing as a backup.
Best regards,
Ilya
