pg_back is a simple backup tool for PostgreSQL using pg_dump.

The main features of pg_back are:

  • Dump globals and configuration
  • Dump all or a subset of databases into any format supported by pg_dump
  • Filter tables and schemas
  • Time and count based purge of old dumps
  • Dump as a non-superuser role
  • Encrypt and decrypt the files with AGE using a key pair or a password
  • Upload and download to major Cloud storage providers (S3, GCS, Azure Blob) or any host with SFTP
  • Checksum files with sha256sum
  • Pre-backup and post-backup hooks

This new version allow to store remote files under a defined prefix, along with some bugfixes, see the CHANGELOG.md file in the repository for details.
