pgadmin-4

I would like to make a backup of my postgres database via pgAdmin but the command is running for an hour right now!

The problem is that I can not stop the backup process. I stopped my postgress server, restarted the notebook and the pgAdmin but always the backup process is running with pg_dump.

I can just kill the pgAdmin process but if I restart it the backup still runs.

Update: Also a re-installation of postgresql and pgadmin 4 did not solve the problem! Can you tell me how can I stop the backup please?

I hade the same problem today, i found this Post: PostgreSQL-Mailinglist with the given answer:

First, click on "Click here for details" link on the dialogue (same dialogue you have attached). When you click on that, another dialogue (details of backup) will show up. Please close that another dialogue through the close button (at upper right), this window will not show up again.

I had to do this ~3 times, and now the "Backup-Window" is gone.
