HerokuPgBackupsArchive

This gem allows you to backup your heroku postgres database and archive it to S3, optionally with SSE-C.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'heroku_pg_backups_archive'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install heroku_pg_backups_archive

There is some configuration required. For a rails application, create a file like config/initializers/heroku_pg_backups_archive.rb with contents like:

HerokuPgBackupsArchive.configure do |config|
  # Required
  config.app_name = "your-heroku-app-name"
  config.bucket_name = "your-s3-bucket-name"

  # Optional
  config.sse_customer_key = "your-sse-c-key" # leave blank to disable SSE-C
  config.heroku_toolbelt_path = "path/to/heroku/executable" # defaults to `vendor/heroku-toolbelt/bin/heroku` when not explicitly set
  config.aws_access_key_id = "aws-secret-key-id" # defaults to `ENV["AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID"]` when not explicitly set
  config.aws_secret_access_key = "aws-secret-access-key" # defaults to `ENV["AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"]` when not explicitly set
  config.aws_region = "some-region" # defaults to `us-east-1` when not explicitly set
  config.after_complete = lambda { puts "I'm all done!" } # defaults to no action
end

To run the backup, simply run:

rake heroku_pg_backups_archive

To make the heroku toolbelt available on your dyno, you can use heroku-buildpack-toolbelt.

Note: The backup will be captured from the first follower database, if any are present.

If you have a dependency on version 1 of the aws-sdk gem you will need to update your gemfile to depend on aws-sdk-v1. This will allow your app to continue to function as normal, but allow this gem to use newer features in version 2 of the SDK.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release to create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
