How to dump multiple databases of the same cluster in single execution? I have 100 databases in my cluster. I need to backup 30 databases (as single file or multiple file, anything is fine). I could do it for tables using pg_dump with -t. 

Is there any way to do something like this (pseudocode):

pg_dump -d db1 -d db2 -d db3 -Fc &gt; dbs_backup.backup
pg_dump can only dump a single DB. The manual:


  pg_dump only dumps a single database. To back up an entire cluster, or
  to back up global objects that are common to all databases in a
  cluster (such as roles and tablespaces), use pg_dumpall.


pg_dumpall, on the other hand can only dump all DBs in the cluster, even if you provide a specific DB name in the connection string. The manual:


  -d connstr
  --dbname=connstr
  
  Specifies parameters used to connect to the server, as a connection
  string. See Section 34.1.1 for more information.
  
  The option is called --dbname for consistency with other client
  applications, but because pg_dumpall needs to connect to many
  databases, the database name in the connection string will be ignored.
  Use the -l option to specify the name of the database used for the
  initial connection, which will dump global objects and discover what
  other databases should be dumped.


To dump some DBs but not all, use a shell script, like has been advised.
You may want to include commands to create each DB in the dump:
