[Change] add ts-dump and ts-restore #675

@paulovieira

Description

@paulovieira

Change in content, appearance, or functionality?

New content relative to ts-dump and ts-restore (which I believe are the official tools to backup/restore a database with timescale).

Describe the change

  1. In the using-timescaledb/tooling page: add descriptions to ts-dump and ts-restore.

That page should also mention that in some linux distributions all the tools (timescaledb-parallel-copy, timescaledb-tune, ts-dump, ts-restore) can easily be installed with a package (example: for debian/ubuntu, it's the timescaledb-tools package). That's not obvious until you read github page / documentation of those tools.

  1. In the using-timescaledb/backup page: add a new section after "Using pg_dump and pg_restore", which could be named "Using ts-dump and ts-restore".

Location(s)

How soon is this needed?

Not urgent I guess. I found ts-dump / ts-restore with a quick google search, but would be better if these tools were present in the docs.

I can submit an initial PR for this issue, if you are interested.
