CLI interface for backup of remote PostgreSQL DB to either local storage or S3. This was created as part of a learning exercise.

1. Ensure pip and pipenv are installed.
2. Clone the git repo: git clone git@github.com:thehackadmin/pgbackup
3. cd into the cloned repo.
4. Fetch development dependencies: make install
5. Activate python virtualenv: pipenv shell

Pass in:

• the full DB URL that is to be backed up
• the storage driver
• the destination

S3 example w/ bucket name:

$ pgbackup postgres://bob@example.com:5432/db_one --driver s3 backups

Local example:

$ pgbackup postgres://bob@example.com:5432/db_one --driver local /var/local/db_one/backups/dump.sql

Run tests locally using make if the virtualenv is active:

$ make

If the virtualenv is not active then:

$ pipenv run make
