I don’t see any backup options in the DO admin UI like I do for other droplets.
I’ve tried pg_dumpall but I get this error
FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host “<IP>”, user “<ADMIN>”, database “template1”, SSL off
Also pg_dump/pg_dumpall would have to be run manually, I’m looking for a way to do scheduled regular backups of my database

Hello, @l0qii
Backups are handled automatically and included to you at no additional fee. Full backups are taken everyday and write-ahead-logs are maintained to allow you to restore to any point-in-time during the retention period.
You an check our official Docs for the Managed PosfreSQL Database here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/databases/postgresql/how-to/
And check the tutorial on how to restore a PosfreSQL cluster from Backups:
https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/databases/postgresql/how-to/restore-from-backups/
You can also manually backup your databases using the dokku-postgres plugin as well. You can check this article as well:

With this command you can manually backup PostgreSQL Database to DigitalOcean Spaces:
Hope this helps!

I looked around and didn’t find this answer at the moment, followed the Postgres how to mostly. With default postgresql-client you might get an error because the client and server have different versions, for me the server had postgresql-server-11.
So install the same version for the client following the official guide https://www.postgresql.org/download/
And when done you can backup
