# Django managed commands to backup and restore PostgreSQL databases with multiple generations

The `django_postgres_backup` Django module includes managed commands to back

up and restore a PostgreSQL database with time stamped names to provide

multiple backup generations.

## Installation

To install, depending on your package manager, run:

```bash

pip install --update django_postgres_backup

```

or

```bash

poetry add django_postgres_backup

```

## Usage

To add the backup related managed commands to your project, add it to

`settings.INSTALLED_APPS`.

```python

INSTALLED_APPS = [

    ...,

    "django_postgres_backup",

]

```

After this, you can backup the default database by running:

```bash

python manage.py postgres_backup

```

The created backup can now be restored by running:

```bash

python manage.py postgres_backup

```

You can clean and restore a whole database with all the tables and data

```bash

python manage.py postgres_restore --clean --if-exists

```

## Configuration

You can set up how many generations of backup should be saved, all other will be deleted.

```python

POSTGRES_BACKUP_GENERATIONS = 3

```

## Limitations

Backup and restore works only with postgresql.
