Good luck!
I would see two possible solutions to the problem:
1) use physical backup and switch to incremental (e..g, pgbackrest)
2) partition the table and backup single pieces, if possible
(constraints?) and be assured it will become hard to maintain (added
partitions, and so on).

Are all of the 88 GB be written during a bulk process? I guess no, so
maybe partitioning you can avoid locking the whole dataset and reduce
contention (and thus time).
