Amazon S3, Dropbox, local file storage or any Django storage.

It is made for:

- Ensure your backup with GPG signature and encryption
- Archive with compression
- Deal easily with remote archiving
- Great to keep your development database up to date.
- Use Crontab or Celery to setup automated backups.

Why use DBBackup
================

This software doesn't reinvent the wheel, in few words it is a pipe between
your Django project and your backup storage. It tries to use the traditional dump &
restore mechanisms, apply compression and/or encryption and use the storage system you desire.

It gives a simple interface to backup and restore your database or media
files.

Management Commands
===================

dbbackup
--------

Backup your database to the specified storage. By default this will backup all
databases specified in your settings.py file and will not delete any old
backups. You can optionally specify a server name to be included in the backup
filename. ::

  Usage: ./manage.py dbbackup [options]
  
  Options:
    --noinput             Tells Django to NOT prompt the user for input of any
                          kind.
    -q, --quiet           Tells Django to NOT output other text than errors.
    -c, --clean           Clean up old backup files
    -d DATABASE, --database=DATABASE
                          Database to backup (default: everything)
    -s SERVERNAME, --servername=SERVERNAME
                          Specify server name to include in backup filename
    -z, --compress        Compress the backup files
    -e, --encrypt         Encrypt the backup files
    -o OUTPUT_FILENAME, --output-filename=OUTPUT_FILENAME
                          Specify filename on storage

                          Specify where to store on local filesystem

Tests
=====

Tests are stored in `dbbackup.tests` and for run them you must launch:

::

    python runtests.py

In fact, ``runtests.py`` acts as a ``manage.py`` file and all Django command
are available. So you could launch:

::

    python runtests.py shell

For get a Python shell configured with the test project. Also all test
command options are available and usable for run only some chosen tests.
See `Django test command documentation`_ for more informations about it.

.. _`Django test command documentation`: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/stable/topics/testing/overview/#running-tests

There are even functional tests: ::

    ./functional.sh

See documentation for details about

To run the tests across all supported versions of Django and Python, you
can use Tox. Firstly install Tox:

::

    pip install tox

To run the tests just use the command ``tox`` in the command line.  If you
want to run the tests against just one specific test environment you can run
``tox -e <testenv>``.  For example, to run the tests with Python3.3 and
Django1.9 you would run:

::

    tox -e py3.3-django1.9

The available test environments can be found in ``tox.ini``.
