You aren't wrong on how its ranked but here is an example of what I am
talking about with SEO:

Search:
postgresql backups

For me, the first three are the docs which are not very useful if you
just want backups that just work (unless you are someone like you and I
who are using the docs for reference not howto). The fourth link is this
one:

https://www.compose.com/articles/postgresql-backups-and-everything-you-need-to-know/

Which is a great article but also isn't what I am thinking about. What I
am thinking about is articles like this:

https://www.commandprompt.com/blog/a_better_backup_with_postgresql_using_pg_dump/

Which in this case is clearly out of date but provides context of what I
am trying to achieve.
