Backup

Purpose

Provide the operational steps to back up a Get2Dial deployment.

Overview

Back up each durable tier: PostgreSQL (logical dump + WAL), MinIO (off-site object sync), and configuration (in VCS/vault). Verify each backup completes and periodically test a restore.

Configuration

Set credentials and destinations as environment/agent config; never commit secrets.

Examples

# PostgreSQL logical dump
pg_dump "$DATABASE_URL" --format=custom --file=get2dial-$(date +%F).dump

# MinIO bucket sync to off-site target (mc configured separately)
mc mirror --overwrite local/get2dial offsite/get2dial-backup

Notes

Pair this with the Restore runbook and test restores.
Keep at least one copy in a separate failure domain.
Redis is not backed up (reconstructible state).
