Configuration is done via toml files, an example can be found in tests/data/test_config.toml.

There are three types of backups that can be configured:

1. local backups, which have the form:

[<entry name>]
destination = 'PATH WHERE BACKUP SHOULD GO'
backup_paths = ['LIST OF PATHS TO BE BACKED UP (inputs to tar)']
exclude = ['LIST OF PATHS TO EXCLUDE (the --exclude option in tar)']

2. Full backup of postgres, i.e:

[<entry name>]
full_postgres_backup = true
destination = 'PATH WHERE BACKUP SHOULD GO'

3. Backup of individual postgres database, i.e.:

[<entry name>]
database_url = 'postgresql://user:password@hostname:port/database'
destination = 'PATH WHERE BACKUP SHOULD GO'
tables = ['LIST OF TABLES TO BACKUP']
sequences = {sequence_name=['table-name', 'index column']]}
dependencies = {table_name=['list of foreign tables']}
