Auto Backup

Postby Nwit » Wed Jul 30, 2008 4:54 pm

I have just installed Mozyhome, an auto backup program. Will this be a good way to protect postgre data files?

If so what files and/or file extensions should I include?

Thanks,
Nwit

You should be using the Utilities > PostgreSQL Database Functions window in PT to make backups of your database, this creates a single compressed file that you can use to restore your database easily.

PostgreSQL is not just a single file, it's made up of a number of data files. If you want to back those files up too it doesn't hurt, they are located in the c:\program files\postgesql\[version #]\data folder

where [version #] is the version of PostgreSQL you have installed, like 8.2 or 8.3
