Django DBBackup

The main features include:

• Secure your backup with GPG signature and encryption.
• Archive with compression.
• Easily manage remote archiving.
• Keep your development database up to date.
• Set up automated backups with Crontab or Celery.
• Manually backup and restore via Django management commands.

Why use DBBackup?

DBBackup gives you a simple yet robust interface to backup, encrypt, transmit, and restore your database and media.

In a few words, it is a pipe between your Django project and your backups. It is written to be far more efficient than Django's backup/restore commands by using your database's native/standard/best procedure(s) or tool(s) to perform backups.

Ultimately, this helps simplify the task of "creating a backup" by removing the need for writing relational query commands, using complex tools, or creating scripts. Optionally, DBBackup can apply compression and/or encryption before transferring the data to nearly any storage system.
