A django backup package for backing up your databases.

Installation

Install through pip

pip install django-backups

In settings.py, add the following line:

BACKUP_DIR = BASE_DIR / "backups_folder"

This is where your saved backups will go locally.

Add backups to INSTALLED_APPS.

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...

    'backups',
]

Add those two lines in settings.py:

from dotenv import load_dotenv
load_dotenv()

Add the following lines to .env file:

DO_SPACE_ACCESS_KEY_ID='<key_id>'
DO_SPACE_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='<secret_access_key>'
DO_SPACE_ENDPOINT_URL='<endpoint_url>'
DO_SPACE_BUCKET_NAME='<bucked_name>'
DO_SPACE_REGION='<s3_region>'

NOTE: Don't worry about DO_SPACE, it'll work with S3 in general.
