Trying to backup postgresql database and an getting the following error. Really stinks because I like the product.
12/8/2025 6:30:29 PM [Error] Failed to backup “localhost_5432” database with “Full” backup type: Process exited with code 1. Error: pg_basebackup: error: incompatible server version 18.0
pg_basebackup: removing data directory “C:\WINDOWS\SystemTemp\SYSTEM\Pranas.NET\SBF\9223a795-03c6-42fb-b524-594e3202cb0f\localhost_5432202512081830.sql”
Hello Adam,
Thank you for your message.
The error occurs because there is a version mismatch between the PostgreSQL server (18.0) and the pg_basebackup utility used by SQLBackupAndFTP.
To resolve the issue, please try specifying the path to your PostgreSQL 18.0 bin folder in the connection settings. I’ve attached a screenshot for your reference.
Hello Adam,
We have implemented some improvements in the Alpha version.
Could you please download it from this link and install it?
Your feedback will help us proceed with the next steps.
Thank you in advance!
