Question

Periodically backup/transfer data from one app's database (managed db) to another app's database (another managed db)

Hi all,

I was wondering if there is any handy way to setup/schedule a periodical data backup or transfer (e.g. every night) from one app’s managed PSQL database to another apps managed PSQL database on digital ocean? Or what would be the best approach to achieve this, if the backups can’t be used in this way?

Thanks a lot in advance and best regards

Hello,

This can be achieved by following this step-by-step tutorial here on how to backup and restore a MongoDB database:

https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-back-up-restore-and-migrate-a-mongodb-database-on-ubuntu-20-04

You can add the commands from the tutorial in a bash script and set that script to run as a cron job every day:

Hope that this helps!

Best,

Bobby
