Backup and Restore Procedures
Backing up data plays an important role in databases. Here backup and restore of the postgreSQL database can be done using tools such as pg_dump or pg_basebackup:
- To ensure the up to date data , we need to schedule backups at regular intervals
- Select a secure and remote backup storage destination, such as an external server or cloud storage service.
- Test the backup restoration process on a regular basis to ensure its functionality and to fix any potential issues before they become critical.
- pg_dump is used to store the database in some file.
docker exec -it <container_name> \
pg_dump -U<user_name> --column-inserts --data-only <db_name> > \
backup_data.sql
