Database Backup and Restore

This repository provides a solution for backing up and restoring databases. Whether you need scheduled backups for automated routine tasks or manual backups for specific events, this guide will walk you through the process.

Backup Types

Scheduled Backups

Scheduled backups are automated processes that run at predefined intervals. They help ensure that your data is regularly backed up without manual intervention.

To set up scheduled backups, follow the steps outlined in the Configuration section.

  • Support: PostgreSQL

Manual Backups

Manual backups are initiated by a user on-demand. These are useful for creating backups before system updates, major changes, or any event that requires a snapshot of the database at a specific point in time.

To manually create a backup, follow the steps outlined in the Usage section.

  • Support: PostgreSQL

Restore Process

The restore process allows you to recover your database from a previously created backup.

  • Support: PostgreSQL
