This is a permutation of the original pg_backup script as written by speedboy_420. I have made changes to allow for environment variables to make backups of a remote host, change backup direct via ENV variable, as well as use bzip2 for all compression. Example UsageCopy script to /usr/bin/pg_backup or similar. chmod 755 /usr/bin/pg_backup Put something like this in /etc/cron.d/backup
0 3 * * * postgres export PGHOST=foodb; export PGBACKUPDIR=/bak/backups ; nice /usr/bin/pg_backup b 2 >> /var/log/pgsql/pg_backup.log 2>&1
0 4 * * * postgres export PGBACKUPDIR=/bak/backups ; nice /usr/bin/pg_backup b 2 >> /var/log/pgsql/pg_backup.log 2>&1

# Version

# +-- 1.1.2
#
# Description
# |
# +-- A bourne shell script that automates the backup, vacuum and
# analyze of databases running on a postgresql server.
#
# Tested on
# |
# +-- Postgresql
# | |
# | +-- 8.1.9
# | +-- 7.1.3
# | +-- 7.1.2
# | +-- 7.1
# | +-- 7.0
# |

# | |
# | +-- CentOS 5 (RHEL 5)
# | +-- Linux Redhat 6.2
# | +-- Linux Mandrake 7.2

# | +-- Cygwin (omit the column ":" because NT doesn't quite digest it)
# |
# +-- Shells:

#
# Requirements
# |
# +-- grep, awk, sed, echo, bzip2, chmod, touch, mkdir, date, psql,
# test, expr, dirname, find, tail, du, pg_dump, vacuum_db
#
# Installation
# |
# +-- Set the path and shell you wish to use for this script on the
# | first line of this file. Keep in mind this script has only been
# | tested on the shells above in the "Tested on" section.
# |
# +-- Set the configuration variables below in the configuration
# | section to appropriate values.
# |
# +-- Remove the line at the end of the configuration section so that
# | the script will run.
# |
# +-- Now save the script and perform the following command:
# |
# | chmod +x ./pg_backup.sh
# |
# +-- Now run the configuration test:
# |
# | ./pg_backup.sh configtest
# |
# | This will test the configuration details.
# |
# +-- Once you have done that add similiar entries given as examples
# below to the crontab (`crontab -e`) without the the _first_ #
# characters.
#
# # Run a backup of the remote database host 'foodb', likely on a private network
# 00 03 * * * export PGHOST=foodb; export PGBACKUPDIR=/bak/backups ; nice /server/postgres/pg_backup.sh b 2 >> /var/log/pgsql/pg_backup.log 2>&1
# # Run a backup of the local database host 'foodb' to a custom backup directory
# 00 04 * * * export PGBACKUPDIR=/bak/backups ; nice /usr/bin/pg_backup b 2 >> /var/log/pgsql/pg_backup.log 2>&1
#
# Restoration
# |
# +-- Restoration can be performed by using psql or pg_restore.
# | Here are two examples:
# |
# | a) If the backup is plain text:
# |
# | Firstly bunzip2 your backup file (if it was bzip2ped).
# |
# | nunzip2 backup_file.bz2
# | psql -U postgres database < backup_file
# |
# | b) If the backup is not plain text:
# |
# | Firstly bunzip2 your backup file (if it was bzip2ed).
# |
# | bunzip2 backup_file
# | pg_restore -d database -F {c|t} backup_file
# |
# | Note: {c|t} is the format the database was backed up as.
# |
# | pg_restore -d database -F t backup_file_tar
# |
# +-- Refer to the following url for more pg_restore help:
#
# http://www.postgresql.org/idocs/index.php?app-pgrestore.html
#
# To Do List
# 1. db_connectivity() is BROKEN, if the script can not create a
# connection to postmaster it should die and write to the logfile
# that it could not connect.
# 2. make configtest check for every required binary

| | This is a permutation of the original pg_backup script as written by speedboy_420. I have made changes to allow for environment variables to make backups of a remote host, change backup directory via ENV variable, as well as use bzip2 for all compression. There is also a github gist repo for this file. Example UsageCopy script to /usr/bin/pg_backup or similar. chmod 755 /usr/bin/pg_backup Put something like this in /etc/cron.d/backup
0 3 * * * postgres export PGHOST=foodb; export PGBACKUPDIR=/bak/backups ; nice /usr/bin/pg_backup b 2 >> /var/log/pgsql/pg_backup.log 2>&1
0 4 * * * postgres export PGBACKUPDIR=/bak/backups ; nice /usr/bin/pg_backup b 2 >> /var/log/pgsql/pg_backup.log 2>&1
If you want to clear out older backups, you can use these two entries in /etc/cron.d/backup
# Remove backups older than 1 week except those made on the 9th, 19th, and 29th
5 4 * * * root find /bak/database/ -mtime +7 -name "*_db-*[123456780]-0[3-4]00*" -exec rm {} \;
# Remove backups older than 60 days except those made on the 9th of the month
5 4 * * * root find /bak/database/ -mtime +60 -name "*_db-*[12]9-0[3-4]00*" -exec rm {} \;
Restoring a database looks like:
bzcat /tmp/pg_db-localhost-foobar-backup-2011-03-14-0300.bz2 |nice pg_restore --verbose -U postgres -F t -d foobar
