A customer ran into this problem. They're using RDS in AWS as their database. ``` 2019-05-03 20:09:22 +0000 -- Dumping database ... Dumping PostgreSQL database gitlab_production ... pg_dump: server version: 10.6; pg_dump version: 9.6.11 pg_dump: aborting because of server version mismatch [FAILED] rake aborted! Backup::Error: Backup failed /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/lib/backup/database.rb:50:in `dump' /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/lib/tasks/gitlab/backup.rake:99:in `block (4 levels) in <top (required)>' /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/lib/tasks/gitlab/backup.rake:10:in `block (3 levels) in <top (required)>' /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/bundle:23:in `load' /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/bundle:23:in `<main>' Tasks: TOP => gitlab:backup:db:create (See full trace by running task with --trace) ``` Now the error `pg_dump: aborting because of server version mismatch` is a bit vague. What would “the server” be in this case? Would it be possible to extend the error message? With something like `The version of pg_dump in the package does not match the version of the database`? cc: @lbot @dblessing
