Hi guys. I was trying to make a script for making backups in the shell and I shreddered something. Need help now. :)

That´s what I did:

- I made a db backup with pg_dump -Fc

- I renamed the original db in the shell by using psql

- I created a new db with the original name by using createdb in the shell

- restored dumped dbdata into the new db by pg_restore -d

The funny thing was, Odoo was using the old, renamed database, not the new one with the original name.

Now we dropped the old/renamed database and odoo wants us to setup a new database instead of use the new database with the original name. The Database exists and in pgAdmin it looks identically like before that whole operation.

Of course i restarted odoo.

Thanks

Hi Martin! I've created an Odoo module that automates backups from your Odoo, without technical knowledge. If this could help you have a look at https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/question/public-release-automated-backup-module-82374 there are the links to the module and a full guide. Hope this can help you :)

Try restoring to a new db name and modifying whatever your start up script is for the new name, also check db ownership vs your script.

Thanks. The ownership was the problem: psql -U postgres -c "ALTER DATABASE dbname OWNER TO odoo" solved the problem.
Thank you also for listing possibilities for the autobackup. I will check them.

Suggestion, I use to do a backup linux/debian/ubuntu package autopostgresqlbackup. This useful package will give you a copy of the daily, weekly, etc.
