To back up, a PostgreSQL database, start by logging into your database server, then switch to the Postgres user account, and run pg_dump as follows (replace tecmintdb with the name of the database you want to backup). By default, the output format is a plain-text SQL script file.
Use \! cls to clear screen.
To disconnect from a database, click the connection in the Database Navigator or Projects view, and then click the Disconnect button in the toolbar or click Database -> Disconnect on the main menu: You can also right-click the connection and click Disconnect on the context menu.
type \q and press enter to quit from psql from command line. In general the meta commands are preceded by \ for eg- \list or \l: list all databases or \dt: list all tables in the current database
To switch databases:
\connect database_name
If that does not work, you can use CTRL + D. For more help on meta commands you can press \?
Since you are new to psql consider referring to the documentation here
