Digipass Plug-In for SBR Administrator Reference Backup and Recovery
6.1.6.3 Backup of Embedded Database
The PostgreSQL database available with the SBR Plug-In installation may be backed up while
operational by completing these steps:
1. Open command prompt in \PostgreSQL\Bin.
2. Enter the following command and hit ENTER:
pg_dump -f "" -Fc -Z9 -U [-v] postgres
where:
is the absolute path and file name of the file to back up the data
to
is the database administrator account name. When installed,
this is set to "digipass".
-v is an optional 'verbose mode' parameter. Use this if you wish to see output as the
backup is run.
3. You will normally be prompted for the password of the database administrator account.
When installed, this is set to "digipassword".
This command may also be run via a batch file in order to automatically take a backup at
regular intervals. In order to remove the interactive prompt for the password, you can add a
line to a PostgreSQL configuration file to allow local logins for a database administrator account
without a password. Edit the file \PostgreSQL\data\pg_hba.conf with a text
editor. At the bottom of this file, there is a list of rules for authenticating connections to the
database, which by default will be:
# TYPE DATABASE USER CIDR-ADDRESS METHOD
# IPv4 local connections:
host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5
# IPv6 local connections:
#host all all ::1/128 md5
Add the following line directly below # Ipv4 local connections:
host postgres digipass 127.0.0.1/32 trust
You may prefer to create a second database administrator account that only has permission to
back up the database. This can be done using the PostgreSQL database administration utility
Programs -> PostgreSQL 8.1 -> pgAdmin III. Refer to the PostgreSQL documentation for
more information.
