Обсуждение: Duplication to External Server
I'm setting up 2 database servers. The first is on our local network which is our staging server. The second is an external server setup at my hosting company. On a nightly bases I want to copy all the data from the local Postgre database to the production server at hosting company overriding whatever was there previously. Does anyone have any suggestions on an easy was to do this ? _________________________________________________________________ Tired of slow downloads?

I'm not quite sure if psql supports SSL natively but you can always tunnel the connection with ssh if your ISP supports it. If you are using 7.4 you could even use pg_dump with ssh in a similar manner. -- Keith C. Perry, MS E.E.

For this particular case, I'd be tempted to pg_dump the local database, use rsync over ssh to update that dump onto the hosted server, then pg_restore. If you could stop the local copy of PG, in theory you could just move the whole data directory, but I'd feel uncomfortable about that. -- Richard Huxton Archonet Ltd
