Before starting this how-to, make sure you have completed the following prerequisites:

* [Download a backup](/developerportal/operate/download-backup/) that you want to restore locally.
* Install PostgreSQL version 12 or above (as you need pgAdmin version 4.12 or above) on your local machine by downloading and running the [PostgreSQL Installer](https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/). When installing, use the program defaults and choose a password.
* Install PostgreSQL version 17 or above (you need pgAdmin version [8.14](https://www.postgresql.org/ftp/pgadmin/pgadmin4/v8.14/) or above) on your local machine by downloading and running the [PostgreSQL Installer](https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/). When installing, use the program defaults and choose a password.

## June 2026

### June 9, 2026

#### Improvements

* Mendix Cloud database backups are now created with `pg_dump` version `1.16`. This version has been included with PostgreSQL since September 2024 as part of PostgreSQL 17. As a result, backups created in Mendix Cloud can only be restored with `pg_restore` version `1.16` or above (PostgreSQL 17 or above).

If you attempt to restore a backup using an earlier version, you will receive the following error: `pg_restore: [archiver] unsupported version (1.16) in the file header`. To resolve this issue, upgrade your software to a version that includes newer versions of `pg_dump` and `pg_restore`.

Backups created in Mendix Cloud before June 9, 2026, continue to work as expected after you upgrade your local PostgreSQL binaries to newer versions.
