When the pg_dump process starts it takes one point and then makes a backup for that specific time even if more updates on the database are happening during the pg_dump process. So when you restore on the other machine it will restore to that specific time when the pg_dump process started.

pg_dump is a utility for saving a PostgreSQL database into a script or an

"At the time it was saved" What is the meaning of this statement?
