#!/bin/bash # Nightly logical backup of the webmail database. # # Runs as a long-lived sidecar: sleeps until BACKUP_AT, dumps, verifies, prunes, # repeats. `docker compose run --rm backup once` takes a single backup now (this # is what `deploy/webmail.sh backup` does, e.g. immediately before an update). # # Why logical dumps and not just a NAS snapshot: a btrfs/Hyper Backup snapshot of # a *running* Postgres data directory is crash-consistent, which usually replays # fine but is not guaranteed and cannot be restored into a different Postgres # version. A pg_dump is version-portable and verifiable.
