We've found a problem backing up some of our schemas from pgAdmin4.
After some investigation, we've found the problem being the schema names
need ident quoting - apparently because they contain capital letters.

For example, pgAdmin generated this code which fails:
> $ /usr/bin/pg_dump --file "testera" --host "/var/run/postgresql"
> --port "5432" --username "postgres" --no-password --verbose --format=c
> --blobs --schema "HR00000000001-2019" "nubes"
> pg_dump: last built-in OID is 16383
> pg_dump: no matching schemas were found
However, if I quote the schema name by adding a pair of single quotes...
> $ /usr/bin/pg_dump --file "testera" --host "/var/run/postgresql"
> --port "5432" --username "postgres" --no-password --verbose --format=c
> --blobs --schema '"HR00000000001-2019"' "nubes"
> pg_dump: last built-in OID is 16383
> pg_dump: reading extensions
> pg_dump: identifying extension members
> pg_dump: reading schemas
> pg_dump: reading user-defined tables
> pg_dump: reading user-defined functions
> pg_dump: reading user-defined types
> ...
...it works fine. So it seems schema names should be automatically
quoted (similar to quote_ident()) for backup to work properly. I guess
this is a bug in pgAdmin4 (version I have is 4.11).
