# Backup utility "pg_dump" path setting
|
|
|
|
This setting controls where AyaNova will find the PostgreSQL pg_dump utility used for [automated backups](ops-form-backup.md).
|
|
|
|
## Default
|
|
|
|
Default varies with installer platform but empty is valid if pg_dump utility is in the PATH.
|
|
|
|
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 a config.json property, 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 LINUX config.json entry
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
...other properties...
|
|
"AYANOVA_BACKUP_PG_DUMP_PATH": "/usr/lib/postgresql/14.1/bin/"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example WINDOWS config.json entry
|
|
(Back slashes need to be **doubled** in config.json file or the server will fail to start)
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
...other properties...
|
|
"AYANOVA_BACKUP_PG_DUMP_PATH": "C:\\Program Files\\PostgreSQL\\14\\bin"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example command line parameter
|
|
|
|
`ayanova.exe --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\bin"` (not real)
|
|
|
|
Linux
|
|
|
|
`export AYANOVA_BACKUP_PG_DUMP_PATH="/usr/lib/postgresql/14.1/bin/"` (not real)
