Expand Up @@ -69,9 +69,32 @@ I've written my last database dump and backup script that I want to. My hope
is that this will be a general and feature rich backup script that's easily
extendable and will work across multiple databases and backup schemes.

Future plans
Installation
============

* Support some file based backups with auto rotation.
* Finish S3 Backup and flesh out S3 options.
* Lots more to think of.
Download dumpy and put the dumpy module on your Python path. A way to quickly
test dumpy might be::

$ git clone git://github.com/robhudson/dumpy.git
$ cd dumpy
$ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:`pwd`

Create a config file like the one above in your home directory named `.dumpy.cfg`.

To run the `dumper.py` command::

$ python /path/to/dumper.py

The `dumper.py` command takes the following options:

-h, --help Display help information
-D DATABASE, --database=DATABASE
Dump only the specified database with matching config
name
-v, --verbose Display logging output
-a, --all-databases Dump all databases in the configuration file

Setting up a cron job
=====================
