Hi chaps,
I was just wondering if anyone has any clever way of testing their backups
taken with pg_dump on a daily basis?
On a slightly separate note,
I've setup a daily restore onto a staging server that I intend to also use to
test the dumps, at the moment I've just set up a cron job. I'm sure capturing
the output would be sufficient, however I'm having problems getting it into by
logfile.
su - $PGUSER -c "pg_restore -h localhost -U postgres --disable-triggers -c -d
$database $backup_dir/$server-$database-data.gz" >> $logfile
or
su - $PGUSER -c "pg_restore -h localhost -U postgres --disable-triggers
-c -d $database $backup_dir/$server-$database-data.gz >> $logfile"
won't let me capture it.
How dumb am I?
