pg_dump custom archive and create backup date





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}

I have archive file with custom format created by pg_dump.



Does it contain the backup creation date?



I can't create backups by myself. I receive the archived files over specific network channel. Backup files have a reception date timestamp, but not the date when it has been created on server.

          You can use pg_restore -l <custom_dump_file> and the output should start with something like the following:



          ;
          ; Archive created at 2019-02-13 22:59:59 UTC
          ; dbname: <database_name>
          ; TOC Entries: 2615
          ; Compression: -1
          ; Dump Version: 1.13-0
          ; Format: CUSTOM
          ; Integer: 4 bytes
          ; Offset: 8 bytes
          ; Dumped from database version: 10.6 (Ubuntu 10.6-1.pgdg16.04+1)
          ; Dumped by pg_dump version: 11.1 (Ubuntu 11.1-3.pgdg16.04+1)
          ;


          As you see, the "Archived created at" line is probably what you're looking for.

            You can use pg_restore -l <custom_dump_file> and the output should start with something like the following:



            ;
            ; Archive created at 2019-02-13 22:59:59 UTC
            ; dbname: <database_name>
            ; TOC Entries: 2615
            ; Compression: -1
            ; Dump Version: 1.13-0
            ; Format: CUSTOM
            ; Integer: 4 bytes
            ; Offset: 8 bytes
