Postgres backup and restore playground

The repository contains two postgres database postgres-1 and postgres-2. The database postgres-1 has a table usage with some data in it. The purpose of this gig is to perform a backup of the postgres-1 database and restore it to postgres-2 database.

Here are the steps to perform the backup and restore:

docker-compose up -d
docker exec -it postgres-backup-restore-postgres-2-1 /bin/bash
(container)$ pg_dump -h postgres-1 -p 5432 -t usage -U postgres > dumpfile
(container)$ psql postgres -U postgres < dumpfile

At the end, the postgres-2 database should have the same data as postgres-1 database for table usage.
