Hi Michel,

pgAdmin4 does not take backup by itself but uses pg_dump in backend, It
just provides GUI interface for pg_dump utility for taking backups.
Please refer the pg_dump
<https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/app-pgdump.html> documentation if
you require any specific details on backup process.
