Django App for automagically backing up Models data. Backups can be compressed, sent to ADMINS.
Uses Django's dumpdata management command.
With this app you can reset an app's model data and loaddata from an existing backup archive.
Reloading from backup archive will fail if hash from model does not match file.
Use at own risk. While I'm happy with the amount of tests, this app has not been tested very much with models that have ManyToMany or OneToMany fields. I predict some instability when reloading data from models that contain or require data from other apps.
