Hi all,

We have a big database, around 1.2GB, and want to back it up. We used
pg_dump with --blobs for large objects. However, the process cannot
be completed and threw an error. Can anyone please elaborate on the
--blobs, or backing up for large databases? Judging from the
description of -b/--blobs we suspect that it has something to do with
some fields being text. If anyone has some insight on this help would
be much appreciated. Thanks.
