Documentation (or feature) missing - restoring from backup
m-z-b opened this issue · comments
The README.md file is excellent on options for creating and scheduling backups.
However, there is no description of how to restore from a backup.
It wasn't obvious for me. Unless I've missed an easier way, it involves extracting the export file from the backup directory in the compressed tar file, then piping this into postgres:import.
A command:
postgres:restore <service> < my_backup_file
would simplify this. But improved documentation would be an immediate fix.
You do need to extract the file, which is documented here: https://github.com/dokku/dokku-postgres#create-a-backup-of-the-postgres-service-to-an-existing-s3-bucket
You'll see a section that goes on about postgres:import.
Don't know how I missed that! Perhaps I had case sensitivity on when searching the page for the word "restore".
Can I suggest adding a heading for the search impaired like me? It's something that may need to be found in a hurry.
Incidentally the backup file example would be more accurate if it read backup/export not backup-folder/export
