django-pgtransaction VS django-dbbackup

django-pgtransaction – A context manager/decorator which extends Django's atomic function with the ability to set isolation level and retries for a given transaction

Opus10 focusses on improving the Django ecosystem by building open source tools which promote and enhance the integration of Django with PostgreSQL. To that end, we have just released django-pgtransaction.

And finally backups, this part is really important. When I was a beginner, I used to make silly mistakes which would lead me having to reset the entire database and rebuild. With backups you can simply restore back to a working point in time whenever something goes wrong. The django-dbbackup package can do this for you, however, you may run into a few issues which can be fixed. Or you could simply use PostgreSQL database dumps.

I spent the entire day today trying to implement a backup system for my personal Django/Wagtail project using django-dbbackup, however, I ended up making zero progress.

I have a Django/Wagtail project and I'm trying to set up django-dbbackup to backup both my database as well as my media files.

I've just stumbled upon the django-dbbackup package, seems perfect as it backs up the database and media to the cloud. As backups are linked to the deployment using hostnames, it even seamlessly handles restores. I might give that a go using Ofelia to run the backup management command at regular intervals.
