Re: Backup

I'm using the DB as a History repository... I'm pulling info from a Mssql
db using a P/S script to a csv file then Import that to Postgres I only
keep 6 months live on the mssql db and roll everything else to Postgres
Arch DB.

After I load this latest month to Postgres I just need to backup, or
should I just retain my .csv files as a Backup... I have 2 tables that I
load to Hist and one table holds the images...

THanks .
