Accelerating pg_dump and pg_restore by up to five times

The article discusses techniques for optimizing the speed of pg_dump and pg_restore tools in PostgreSQL databases. The author highlights how critical backup and data restore speed is for database administrators and developers. By applying certain strategies, it is possible to achieve significant time savings, especially when working with large databases. Specific methods such as parallel processing, configuration changes, and the use of appropriate file formats are presented in the article. The author also emphasizes the importance of testing these changes in your own environment to ensure that the acceleration of processes occurs without compromising data integrity. The conclusion encourages the implementation of the described techniques and trying them out in practice, which can yield substantial performance benefits for PostgreSQL users.
