Does the 'satellite-maintain backup' command use the 'pg_dump' command to take the database backup of Red Hat Satellite 6.x Server/Capsule?

Environment

• Red Hat Satellite 6.10+

Issue

• When using the satellite-maintain backup command to do the backup, the documentation says it'll do a backup of the database. Is this just using the pg_dump command to provide a remote backup to store locally on the designated place on the satellite server? Or some other method.

Resolution

The satellite-maintain backup command can use both online and offline methods to back up remote databases, but if you use offline methods, such as snapshot, the satellite-maintain backup command performs a database dump using the pg_dump command.
