-# PG Backup
-
-- PG backup service do a backup every day at 11pm of simcore PGSQL database in a distant server.
-- The backup is done in plain PGSQL format
-
-
-## Important notes
-- Unlike the older system, each simcore stack need his own pg-backup service to be started. E.G for dalco-staging, and dalco production, two pg-backup need to be started, each in the corresponding /deployment/production and /deployment/staging folders.
-- PG-backup service needs to be started after simcore-postgres. Otherwise it will fail but the container will stay in a running state (this is caught by e2e-ops)
-
-## Restore backup
-
-- Check that the backup exists
-- Stop PGSQL (you can stop simcore)
-- Delete pgsql volume (STACK_postgres_data)
-```
-docker volume rm _postgres_data
-```
-- Start PGSQL (simcore stack)
-- Copy the backup into the container. If the id of the container starts with a5a :
-```
-docker cp PG_osparc-master.speag.com_simcoredb.05-March-2023.dmp a5a:/
-```
-- Inside of the container, execute this command
-```
-createuser -s postgres -U scu
-```
-- Stop all connections to the current empty database :
-1) Connect to psql in sudo mode :
-```
-su postgres
-psql
-```
-2) Execute a query that will stop all the connections
-```
-SELECT
-	pg_terminate_backend(pg_stat_activity.pid)
-FROM
-	pg_stat_activity
-WHERE
-	pg_stat_activity.datname = 'simcoredb'
-	AND pid <> pg_backend_pid();
-```
-- Delete simcore database
-```
-DROP DATABASE simcoredb;
-quit
-```
-- Finally, restore the DB :
-```
-psql simcoredb < /PG_osparc-master.speag.com_simcoredb.05-March-2023.dmp
-```
