Ubuntu Dbeaver backup database


I have Dbeaver installed and I have a connection to a PostgreSQL database on a remote server.
I'd like to export this database to my local PC but when I go to Tools -> Backup database I see an error

Client home is not specified for connection

What should I specify and where? I can't find anything about it in the documentation.


Solution

  • I use Windows 7, so maybe it doesn't work the same way, but it is worth a try. First you have to install your local postgresql server. When this is done, it's quite simple, just make a rightclick on your PostgreSQL connection and then click on "Edit Connection". Here you can choose your local client.

    I must say, I've search long enough for this on my own. Hope it helps.

    And it is my first post, so sorry if I did something wrong.
