POSTGRESQL: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x82 in position 31: invalid start byte

unfortunately, I´m quite a new user of PostgreSQL. I wanna please You for advice - I imported several data into created databases in PostgreSQL via FME. Created databases use UTF-8 encoding and I just want to backup my databases. But backup dialogue show me this message: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x82 in position 31: invalid start byte. Is possible to fix it please?

Thank You so much!

I am not saying you have the same problem, but I had exactly the same error when I configured the binary path wrong in pgAdmin.

File / Preferences / Paths / Binary Paths / PostgreSQL Binary Path: You need to add the path where pgDump.exe is.

Pretty annoying error message, lead me comlpetely wrong way...
