+# BACKUP UTILITY "pg_dump" PATH SETTING
+
+This setting controls where AyaNova will find the Postgres pg_dump utlity for automated backups.
+
+## Default
+
+Default is empty.
+
+If no override is specified AyaNova will assume the utility is on the environment PATH.
+
+## Overriding
+
+AyaNova expects the pg_dump utility path to be provided by an environment variable or command line parameter named
+
+`AYANOVA_BACKUP_PG_DUMP_PATH`
+
+The value specified should be a string containing a fully qualified file path to the pg_dump utility.
+
+Example command line parameter
+
+`dotnet run --AYANOVA_BACKUP_PG_DUMP_PATH="/usr/lib/postgresql/14.1/bin/"` (not real)
+
+Example environment variable
+
+Windows
+
+`set "AYANOVA_BACKUP_PG_DUMP_PATH=c:\Program files\postgresql\14.1\bin"` (not real)
+
+Linux / MAC
+
+`export AYANOVA_BACKUP_PG_DUMP_PATH="/usr/lib/postgresql/14.1/bin/"` (not real)
+
+If both a command line parameter and an environment variable are set the command line parameter takes precedence.
