Automation of the creation of backups of Postgres databases

Backup Postgres Database

This simple Python package allows you to create easily the database backup of Postgres databases. You can upload them to cloud storage buckets by creating a cron job.

    from postgres_backup import Backup

    # Instantiate the backup object with Postgres database_uri
    backup = Backup(database_uri)

    # Create the file for backup
    backup.create(out_file='backup.gz')

Note that the URI has the following structure: db:engine:[//[user[:password]@][host][:port]/][dbname]
