Re: ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "geocode_settings_pkey"

I opened the Backup File seen , The duplicate error came in schema : tiger , table : geocode_setting , already data for primary key column exist "debug_geocode_address" primary key value

What is use of tiger schema , is related postGIS . Can we take dump for only schema public ?

That looks like data corruption on the original database.

Look at https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Corruption and
follow the "VITALLY IMPORTANT FIRST RESPONSE".

Check if that is the only row that violates the constraint.
You could manually delete all offending rows on the source,
then dump/restore (don't continue working with the database
even if it seems consistent again).
