使用pg_dump命令备份PostgreSQL数据库，结合crontab定时任务实现自动备份。
在Linux环境下，我们经常需要对数据库进行定期备份，以防止数据丢失，PostgreSQL是一种功能强大的开源对象关系数据库系统，广泛应用于各种业务场景，本文将教你如何在Linux环境下定时备份PostgreSQL数据库。
准备工作
1、确保已经安装了PostgreSQL数据库和Linux操作系统。
2、安装pg_dump工具，用于备份PostgreSQL数据库，在终端中输入以下命令进行安装：
sudo aptget install postgresqlclientcommon
3、创建一个用于存放备份文件的目录，
mkdir /backup/postgresql
创建备份脚本
1、使用文本编辑器创建一个名为backup_postgresql.sh的脚本文件，
touch backup_postgresql.sh
2、编辑backup_postgresql.sh文件，添加以下内容：
#!/bin/bash
设置数据库连接信息
DB_HOST="localhost"
DB_PORT="5432"
DB_NAME="your_database_name"
DB_USER="your_database_user"
DB_PASSWORD="your_database_password"
设置备份目录和文件名
BACKUP_DIR="/backup/postgresql"
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
FILE_NAME="${BACKUP_DIR}/${DB_NAME}_${DATE}.sql"
执行备份命令
pg_dump h ${DB_HOST} p ${DB_PORT} U ${DB_USER} W ${DB_PASSWORD} F t ${DB_NAME} > ${FILE_NAME}
3、保存并退出编辑器，给脚本文件添加可执行权限：
chmod +x backup_postgresql.sh
定时执行备份脚本
1、使用crontab命令创建一个定时任务，每天凌晨1点执行备份脚本，在终端中输入以下命令：
crontab e
2、在打开的编辑器中，添加以下内容：
0 1 * * * /path/to/backup_postgresql.sh
3、保存并退出编辑器，现在，每天凌晨1点，备份脚本将自动执行，将PostgreSQL数据库备份到指定的目录。
恢复数据库备份
如果需要恢复数据库备份，可以使用以下命令：
psql h ${DB_HOST} p ${DB_PORT} U ${DB_USER} W ${DB_PASSWORD} f /path/to/your_backup_file.sql ${DB_NAME}
