Backup Amazon RDS Databases in FOUR simple commands:

1. docker run -it ghcr.io/dbsnapper/dbsnapper:latest /bin/bash

2. dbsnapper config init

3. dbsnapper auth token <YOUR_DBSNAPPER_CLOUD_AUTH_TOKEN>

4. dbsnapper build amazon-rds-postgres

Eliminates time spent setting up environments, installing tools, and other overhead often required when creating database snapshots.

I'm the founder of DBSnapper - if you're interested in learning more, get in touch at joe@dbsnapper.com


I added the pricing to the homepage, but also willing to discuss a custom arrangement as well. Right now you can use the Agent in standalone mode for free. I may choose to limit some of the features in the future but for now, I'd love for anyone to try it out and give feedback.


Star them and import into Omnivore / Obsidian if they're really important to something I'm working on, in which case I'll reference the repo in the project notes.


I will be adding that today, but the DBSnapper cloud is billed per month / per user. I'm also open to exploring a site licensing agreement that would work for you / your team.

Get in touch: joe@dbsnapper.com if you want to discuss!


I'm about to release v.2.0 of [DBSnapper](https://dbsnapper.com) which includes the subsetting feature. Works with Postgres and MySQL.

I have a prelease build (v2.0.0-alpha) available at https://github.com/dbsnapper/dbsnapper/releases

And I'm updating the documentation for v2.0.0 in real-time https://docs.dbsnapper.com. The new configuration is there, but I have some work to do adding docs for the new features.

Works with Mac and Linux (Windows soon)

If you're interested in giving the alpha a try, I'd love feedback and can walk you through any issues you might encounter.

Joe


Built something like this a few years ago for work, but it has become a monstrosity that is difficult to enhance and maintain. We've been debating whether to build a more extensible v2 since I haven't seen anything that fits our needs on the market. I'm excited to check this out!


Joe,

What is the license for DBSnapper ? GitHub does not seems to list one


Hi Peter,

It's closed-source / proprietary at the moment, but I'm highly considering opening parts / all of it up as a golang library at a minimum, or do a free/pro version to support development. Any thoughts, suggestions?


I've been thinking about this as well. As climate change affects the distribution of potable water on the planet, it would seem prudent to start installing solar backed desalination and water pipelines to ensure water security for areas at risk.

Now I'm no hydrologist, and haven't researched this idea deeply yet, so don't know second and third order effects (i.e. brine disposal mentioned above, and of course the economics of such a venture.) It seems at some point our collective hands may be forced and we may have to do something that doesn't make a profit, yet sustains humanity as a going concern.

Finally, the fact that we haven't "terraformed" in this fashion drought-stricken places like Africa or elsewhere is a pity. But yes, economics, profit, geopolitics, power struggles, I get it.


I am really appreciating the IANAH and TINHA side effects of your post :)


The PostgreSQL pg_restore utility is used to restore a point-in-time database backup, also known as a database snapshot created by the pg_dump utility. In this guide, we will dive into how pg_restore works and the different ways it can be used, depending on your needs.
