  Backup multiple database types on a scheduled basis with many customizable options

Take a look at tiredofit/db-backup. I run three containers, one for MariaDB, one for Postgres, and one for InfluxDB (also supports other DB types). It uses the database's native backup mechanism to create a database backup that your backup SW of choice can then pick up each day. Then set your backup SW to ignore the database files each night to eliminate the errors in your backups due to locks, open files, files changed during backup, etc.

  Backup PostgresSQL to local filesystem with periodic backups and rotate backups.

I use a postgres database in a container and back it up with another container, prodrigestivill/postgres-backup-local. It dumps the database to .sql files on a schedule for me.
