Django Database Backup

Documentation Status https://codecov.io/gh/jazzband/django-dbbackup/branch/master/graph/badge.svg?token=zaYmStcsuX Jazzband

This Django application provides management commands to help backup and restore your project database and media files with various storages such as Amazon S3, Dropbox, local file storage or any Django storage.

It is made to:

  • Allow you to secure your backup with GPG signature and encryption
  • Archive with compression
  • Deal easily with remote archiving
  • Keep your development database up to date
  • Use Crontab or Celery to setup automated backups

Docs

See our official documentation at Read The Docs.

This software doesn't reinvent the wheel, in a few words it is a pipe between your Django project and your backup storage. It tries to use the traditional dump &amp restore mechanisms, apply compression and/or encryption and use the storage system you desire.

It gives a simple interface to backup and restore your database or media files.
