Re: Backup & Restore

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
