PostgreSQL database backup stored in your SimpleStorage account.
Let's see how we can easily schedule PostgreSQL backups and store them on SimpleStorage.
SimpleStorage is our backups storage solution included in all our paid plan. SimpleStorage leverage AWS S3 behind the scene, so your data will be hosted on Amazon data centers (you have the choice between the US and Europe for where to store your backups).
And your storage is now connected!
Last step is obviously to schedule your backup.
From this screen you'll be able to configure what data you're backing up (PostgreSQL in this case), where you want it to be saved (in this case your SimpleStorage storage), and how often you want this to be done.
FYI this section will be the same, no matter what storage you pick. And that's the beauty of it, if you want to change storage, just select another one from the list (Backblaze, AWS, or whatever you might prefer) and you'll be good to go.
Select your schedule option (here we picked a daily schedule)
You can select a pre-defined schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) or a custom option allowing you to schedule it whenever you want using CRON syntax.
Example of CRON schedule for "20:00 every Tuesday" = 0 22 * * 2
Finally the "On demand" option won't schedule anything but will allow you to trigger the backup manually or using our API.
That's it, your PostgreSQL backup is now ready and connected to SimpleStorage.
Run it once manually (using the "Run" backup button from the backups list) and you'll trigger your first backup!
