Re: db backup script in gentoo

Uwe,

thank you very much. I created script and ran it from command line:

#!/bin/sh
PGUSER=postgres
PGPASSWORD=password
export PGUSER PGPASSWORD
backupdir=/root/my-backups
backupdate=$(date +%u)
backupfile=${backupdir}/mybackup${backupdate}.backup
pg_dump -Fc -b -Z6 mydb >${backupfile}
/usr/bin/ftp -inp <<EOF
debug 10
hash off
tick on
open myftpsite.com
user   myuser mypass
pwd
bin
verbose
remotestatus
lcd /root/my-backups
put "${backupfile}"
stat
bye

PGUSER=""
PGPASSWORD=""
export PGUSER PGPASSWORD

file /root/my-backups/mybackup6.backup  is created:

ls -l /root/my-backups/mybackup6.backup
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3155454 30. nov   00:06
