# django-pgclone
`django-pgclone` makes it easy to dump and restore Postgres databases.
Here are some key features:
1. Streaming dumps and restores to configurable storage backends like S3. Instances with limited memory aren't a problem for large databases.
2. A restoration process that works behind the scenes, swapping in the restored database when finished.
3. Configurable hooks into the dump and restore process, for example, migrating a restored database before it is swapped.
4. Reversible restores, making it possible to quickly revert to the initial restore or the previous database.
5. Re-usable configurations for instrumenting different types of dumps and restores.
## Quickstart
To dump a database, do:
python manage.py pgclone dump
To list database dump keys, do:
python manage.py pgclone ls
To restore a datase, do:
python manage.py pgclone restore <dump_key>
Database dumps are relative to the storage location, which defaults to the local file system. Dump keys are in the format of `<instance>/<database>/<config>/<timestamp>.dump`.
When listing, use an optional prefix. Restoring supports the same interface, using the latest key that matches the prefix.
## Documentation

* The basics and an overview of how it works.
* The core command docs.
* Configuring an S3 storage backend.
* Running management command hooks during dumping or restoring.
* Creating restores that can be quickly reverted.
* Re-using command parameters for different flows.

## Compatibility
`django-pgclone` is compatible with Python 3.9 - 3.13, Django 4.2 - 5.1, Psycopg 2 - 3, and Postgres 13 - 17.
## Installation
Install `django-pgclone` with:
pip3 install django-pgclone
After this, add `pgclone` to the `INSTALLED_APPS` setting of your Django project.
**Note** Install the AWS CLI to enable the S3 storage backend. Use `pip install awscli` or follow the [installation guide here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/getting-started-install.html).
