Re: How Can I check PostgreSQL backup is successfully or not ?

Although it doesn't really tell if the pg_dump was successful (you'll need
to do a full restore to be sure), I generate an archive list. If that
fails, the backup clearly wasn't successful, and if it succeeds, odds are
pretty good that it worked:

-- bash code snippet --
archiveList=`pg_restore -l ${backupFolder}`
if [[ ! ${archiveList} =~ "Archive created at" ]]
then
echo "PostgreSQL backup - Archive List Test Failed for
${hostName}:${dbName}"
echo "Archive listing:"
echo ${archiveList}
exit 1
fi
