Re: How do I create a Backup Operator account ?

I've also been thinking about this possibility. Create a Linux (S.O.) user
account that has the ability to run pg_dump and pg_restore and enable this
user account to be able to connect to a database - I believe this is
possible through PG_HBA.CONF

But I don't know how to implement this on Linux, nor how to write this
entry in the pg_hba.conf file.
