1) Per
https://www.pgadmin.org/docs/pgadmin4/8.1/backup_server_dialog.html
"Use the Encoding drop-down listbox to select the character encoding
method that should be used for the archive. Note: This option is visible
only for database server greater than or equal to 11."
So are you trying to backup a Postgres version older then 11?
2) pgAdmin is a separate project from the Postgres server. If you are
trying to back from a Postgres 11+ server and don't see the encoding
dropdown then you should probably bring that up on:
https://www.postgresql.org/list/pgadmin-support/
