AutoPostgreSQLBackup

AutoPostgreSQLBackup is a shell script (usually executed from a cron job) designed to provide a fully automated tool to make periodic backups of PostgreSQL databases.

It supports:

  • Email notification
  • Compression on the fly
  • Encryption on the fly
  • Rotation (daily and/or weekly and/or monthly)
  • Databases exclusion
  • Pre and Post scripts
  • Local configuration

Usage

On Debian derived operating systems:

Install it : apt install autopostgresqlbackup

That's it!
