You can automate PostgreSQL backup on Windows using the built-in
For an easier automated approach, Prapl SQL Backup Tool lets you create a PostgreSQL backup through a simple wizard on Windows. Connect your PostgreSQL database, choose where to save the backup, and set a schedule such as hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. The tool can run backups in the background and manage retention automatically, so old backup files can be removed according to your settings. This is useful when you want scheduled PostgreSQL backups without creating and maintaining your own
pg_dump command-line utility. Create a simple batch (.bat) file that runs pg_dump with your PostgreSQL host, database name, username, and backup file path. Then, use Windows Task Scheduler to run the batch file at a fixed time every day or week. This creates a fresh backup PostgreSQL database automatically without requiring you to run the command manually each time. However, you need to manage the batch file, backup location, retention, and scheduled task yourself.For an easier automated approach, Prapl SQL Backup Tool lets you create a PostgreSQL backup through a simple wizard on Windows.
