This is not backing up your functions, it is just selecting the text of them. You could copy the result from pgAdmin and save it to a text file manually if you want.

If you take a full backup of your database the functions will be backed up along with the data.

If you need this for moving data among databases, as you indicate in your comments, I'd suggest using psql and its \copy command.

This will definitely work, as it writes the files onto the local machine (the one the client is running on, eg. your laptop), and if you can connect using pgAdmin 4, you can also connect using psql.

The process would look like

psql -h dbhost -U whatever -d yourdb
psql> \copy table_name TO ~/table_name.csv WITH (FORMAT csv)
psql> \q

psql -h other-dbhost -U whatever -d your_other_db
psql> \copy other_table FROM ~/table_name.csv WITH (FORMAT csv)

The file location syntax assumes you are on Linux.
