Comment on Portabase v1.7.1 - Open source database backup/restore tool
KillianLarcher@lemmy.world 1 week agoCurrently, the backup process is logical. Incremental backups are not implemented yet, as supporting them across multiple database systems (PostgreSQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, etc.) would require significant development effort.
The system relies on the database’s native tools when possible, such as pg_dump for PostgreSQL or mongodump for MongoDB. Table-level backups are not currently supported, but could be introduced in the future if there is enough demand.

Thanks for the clarification. Now I know, that I’ll stick to my daily cronjob that just runs pg_dump via ssh to another machine. I get e-mail notifications with my simple shell script as well.
