Attached is a small backup script that I wrote. It requires command
line PHP w/ PostgreSQL support. What it does is rip through all the
databases, gets the table listings, makes a directory structure and
dumps every table to its own .sql file using pg_dump. Then it backs
it up to tape. With some minor modifications it may work for you :D
The reason I wrote this is with the size of my database, single table
restorations from on pg_dumpall file were horrendous, and since the
database changes structure on a regular basis (new tables, etc) I
didn't want to be limited to a shell script I had to hand configure
every time I added/removed a table.
Cheers,
Gavin

Subject: [GENERAL] Backup & Restore
Hello All,
Which is the simplest way to do a backup? My db is really small
(about
4Mb), so I would like to make a backup to each day, save it in
separated
files, and restore it if necessary.
So, which is the usual way to create the backup files? And how can I
restore these backups?
Thanks in advance,
Marcelo Pereira
