encoding option when database backup

Hi there,

I would like to make an inquiry regarding the encoding option for the
database backup.
When I was using the previous version of PGADMIN 4, I had a
dropbar for the encoding format for the backup option.
But I recently started using the latest version of PGADMIN 4(V8.1),
and I realized that the dropbar for encoding format has disappeared
as we can observe from the attached image.
Are there any solutions where I can activate the encoding dropbar?

Thank you in advance,

Taek

See https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/latest/backup_dialog.html
where it mentions:-

Use the Encoding drop-down listbox to select the character encoding
method that should be used for the archive.

Thank you Rob for your response.

Unfortunately, the Encoding drop-down listbox does not exist for the
pgadmin V8.
Therefore, I would like to seek a way to activate the listbox or select the
encoding method during the Backup procedure.

Regards,

Taek

1) Per

https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/8.1/backup_server_dialog.html

"Use the Encoding drop-down listbox to select the character encoding
method that should be used for the archive. Note: This option is visible
only for database server greater than or equal to 11."

So are you trying to backup a Postgres version older then 11?

2) pgAdmin is a separate project from the Postgres server. If you are
trying to back from a Postgres 11+ server and don't see the encoding
dropdown then you should probably bring that up on:

https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgadmin-support/
