+### Resolve `SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected` error
+
+When using an external PostgreSQL instance, you may see an error like:
+
+```shell
+pg_dump: error: Error message from server: SSL SYSCALL error: EOF detected
+```
+
+To resolve this error, ensure that you are meeting the
+[minimum PostgreSQL requirements](../../install/requirements.md#postgresql-requirements). After
+upgrading your RDS instance to a suitable version, you should be able to perform a backup without
+this error. Refer to issue #64763
