Hi,
I am trying to write cronjob so it will backup database everynight on
another machine.
Currently is doing it on the same machine with this script.
20 13 * * * pg_dump -F c -f /root/database.pgdump database
How can I send it to different machine. Machine IP address is
192.168.1.13
You can use ssh to copy the dump file to another machine. Configuring
ssh to use ssh_agent you will not be required to insert a passwrod, thus
you can do it automatically. I guess there's also an option to specify
the password on the command line.
Is it possible to write pg_restore job ones it finishes dumping on that
machine?
I guess you can write a shell script that checks, periodically, if the
restore file has been copied, then restores it and delete the files
(thus to not restore it infinitely).
