whichmeans that the tables have to be backed up and restored in the correct order to take the constraints into account.
But pg_dump and pg_restore don't take that into account, so when doing restores I was running into errors.
 

Are you doing the backups on a physical replica?

I wonder if it could be related to an issue that this user also ran into a little while ago:
