Dear All,

Is there any way to check the santity of the backup taken using
pg_dump?

Send it to a psychotherapist?

The only way to verify a backup is to restore from it and check it
however you can (compare with original if it is unaltered, or check
record integrity somehow). Same advice as you get for verifying your
system tape backups...
