- Disaster recovery planning
- Recovery testing procedures
- Backup retention policies
- Point-in-time recovery (PITR)
- Cross-region backup replication
- Compliance and audit requirements

## Quick Start

**pg_dump - Text Format:**

```bash
# Simple full backup
pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres -F p database_name > backup.sql

# With compression
pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres -F p database_name | gzip > backup.sql.gz

# Backup with verbose output
pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres -F p -v database_name > backup.sql 2>&1

# Exclude specific tables
pg_dump -h localhost -U postgres database_name \
  --exclude-table=temp_* --exclude-table=logs > backup.sql
```
