Hello, my database is not very big so I want to adopt this backup strategy:
I want to clone my database every 1 hour to another database 'currenttime_mydatabase' in order to have 24 backup a day, overwriting the yesterday backups by today-same-time backups. This is good for me because I have all the backups readily available to be read by my program (opening the backup read only). This is a very important for my needs. I'm writing a script run by cron each hour to do accomplish the backup task. My target is to have the backup operation not affecting the users, so I want to be able to copy a database even if the database is used by someone. Can I use CREATE DATABASE my_backup_database TEMPLATE current_database? Is there a better way to get what I need?
