Backups

Backups are currently handled via heroku's default postgres backup procedure. There is an automated procedure to create backups each day of the week. When milestone backups are needed, we can do a manual backup from the pg: command line:

• heroku pg:backups capture
• heroku pg:backups download
  • creates latest.dump in local (project root) directory
• [heroku pg:backups will provide a list of existing backups]
• rename latest.dump in project root (with some project identifier included) and copy this to new box folder: - https://yale.app.box.com/files/0/f/29123933004/Life_of_the_Buddha
