Command pg_dump not found

Question

Hello, I have Odoo 8. When I try to backup a database, I get the error "command pg_dump not found". What can I do? I have Windows 7 x64.

This always happens due to Odoo can't find where are postgresql_client installed(if it's True that is installed, perhaps you have no instalation of this packages or Odoo have no user rights to access it).
You could config the exact location of your pg_path where the postgresql_client tools are located. This could be done in your config file used to launch Odoo adding
pg_path = /path/to/postgresql/bin

Also spotted the following solution:
If you've go several OE versions installed on your Windows OS, you may need to change the pg_path variable of the .conf file of your Odoo server.
I saw a case where, with a v11 and v12 install, the v12 had pg_path = None, which made it impossible for Odoo to guess that postgresql's bin location

You could config the exact location of your pg_path. This could be done in your config file.
pg_path = C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\12\bin
this worked for me.
But
This path may vary in your system

So check the file path in your Program Files >>PostgreSQL  and copy the path of bin folder

If you are on windows consider adding the  'C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\10\bin' to your PATH environment variables and restart the odoo server. After that, you should be able to backup from the UI.
