timescaledb_pre_restore()

Perform the required operations so that you can restore the database using pg_restore. Specifically, this sets the timescaledb.restoring GUC to on and stops any background workers which could have been performing tasks. The background workers are stopped until the timescaledb_post_restore function is run, after the restore operation is complete.

For more information, see the backup and restore section.

Important

After using timescaledb_pre_restore(), you need to run timescaledb_post_restore before you can use the database normally.

Prepare to restore the database:

SELECT timescaledb_pre_restore();
