    Add Database Backups Automatically

    Example session with this skill installed

    Add nightly PostgreSQL backups to my Express SaaS app.

    • Read your context and instructions
    • Compiled the add database backups

    Project Detected
    Node.js Express SaaS application with PostgreSQL and Docker Compose

    Backup Setup Added

    • PostgreSQL backup script using pg_dump
    • Disabled cron example for nightly execution at 02:00
    • Timestamped compressed backups stored in the configurable BACKUP_DIR path

    Retention and Recovery

    • Added a configurable 14-day retention example with dry-run support
    • Added a separate PostgreSQL restore verification script
    • Restore verification uses an isolated test database

    Security Controls

    • Database credentials are loaded from DATABASE_URL without being printed
    • Backup path validation prevents cleanup outside BACKUP_DIR
    • Generated backup files use restricted local permissions

    Files Modified

    • scripts/backup-postgres.sh
    • scripts/verify-postgres-backup.sh
    • ops/cron/postgres-backup.cron.example
    • docs/database-backups.md
    • .env.example

    Commands Executed

    • bash -n scripts/backup-postgres.sh
    • bash -n scripts/verify-postgres-backup.sh
    • docker compose config
    • bash scripts/backup-postgres.sh --dry-run

    Validation Result
    Script syntax, Docker configuration, environment checks, and backup dry run completed successfully. No production database was accessed and recovery was not claimed as fully verified.

    How to Run
    Run bash scripts/backup-postgres.sh after configuring DATABASE_URL and BACKUP_DIR. Use bash scripts/verify-postgres-backup.sh <backup-file> against an isolated local PostgreSQL instance.

    Important Notes
    Review the backup destination, retention period, time zone, storage permissions, and off-site storage policy before enabling the nightly schedule.

    About this skill

    Add Database Backups Automatically is a bounded ToolForge Labs workflow. Automatically add safe database backups to existing projects. This skill detects your database, creates backup and restore scripts, adds retention rules, protects credentials, and validates recovery using controlled local checks. ✔ PostgreSQL, MySQL, and SQLite ✔ Scheduled backup scripts ✔ Retention and cleanup rules ✔ Restore verification ✔ Secure environment configuration Perfect for SaaS apps, APIs, stores, dashboards, and production services. The skill works from supplied repository files or partial evidence, separates verified facts from assumptions, avoids invented execution claims, and provides concrete next steps plus deterministic validation where possible.

    Requires local database access for restore verification. Does not support cloud-native backup services (like AWS RDS snapshots) directly. Production restoration must be done manually.
