Ask HN: PostgreSQL and other server backup services?
Hi all,
I'm looking to back up user-generated data on a server. This includes a PostgreSQL database and a few directories with uploaded files. Both are fairly small for now (<1GB).
I could hack something up with cron, pg_dump and rsync, but would rather prefer paying for a hosted service that knows what they are doing. Surprisingly, all the backup services I've found so far seem to be for home desktops, but this must be a common need for everyone that runs servers?
If I do have to set it up myself, then any suggestions about best practices are of course also welcome.
