Thorough, thanks! I see you and some others are using "asynchronous" backups where the databases backup on a schedule and the backup program does its thing on its own time. That might actually be the best way!

I'm coming from rsync too, hoping for the same good stuff
It's gon b long ass backup script I think!
Good to know if I need to just throw the running database into borg/restic there's a chance it'll come out ok! Def not a dummy, I only found out databases may not like being backed up while running through someone mentioning it offhandedly
Not a bad idea for a hybrid thing, especially people seem to say that a running database backup at least some of the time most of the time with no special shutdown/export effort is readable. And the dedupe stats are really impressive
That is nicely expandable with my docker_compose files, thanks for the find!
Thanks for the incantation! Its looking like something like this is gonna be the way to do it
So you're saying you dump on a sched to a and then just let your restic backup pick it up asynchronously?
Holy shot thanks for droppin this spell, that's awesome
That’s wild and cool - don’t have that architecture now but… next time
Love the detail, thanks!!
Alt text: Star Trek Enterprise scene, Riker is labeled “The last pack of pizza rolls in the freezer” and Data is labeled “Me at 3 AM”. Riker is sleeping, some ominous flashing lights start occurring. He looks up, and then looks down the bed in shock. Cut to Data, who is creepily smiling back. Cut back to Riker, who is then pulled slowly down the bed and out of frame, by Data who is off-screen. End alt text.
For greater context, a previous commenter has reminded me that the Riker sliding down the bed scene is from the episode “Schisms” https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Schisms_(episode), and Data is not actually the one pulling him off the bed but rather some cooky aliens levitating his ass into subspace or something. Idk what episode Data lookin zonked but creepy is from tho srry!

Alt text: Aide is telling US president george w bush “sir, a second monkey has fallen off the bed and bumped his head”. Bush looks shocked. There is no historical context, I am sure of it
Alt next: a me-me with a sick ass skeleton with a cloak and skull rings and dog tags around its hand that say “you’re” and “next” in cool gothic print pointing at the viewer with the text overlain (top) “You!” (Bottom🤤) “You shower naked don’t you!”
Would you mind pastebin-ing your docker image creator file? I have no experience cooking up my own docker image.
