Migrate complete postgres database cluster to another machine using pg_dump
I am referring to
How to get a working and complete PostgreSQL DB backup and test
In this example/solution, which part of the restore process does actually the "CREATE DATABASE sandbox"? I have been searching for this answer a while now - it seems that pg_dump does not backup the names of the database it creates a backup for --> when I just backup (pg_dump) and restore (psql) it, i get "database sandbox does not exist".
So, if I want to backup and restore the whole cluster with pg_dump, do I have to create all databases on the new server manually? I would like to be able to restore single databases later on, so pg_dumpall doesn't seem to be the right way, or is it?
