Dear All,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It has been brought to our attention[1] that the example backup script for using 'pg_dump' to backup your PostgreSQL database is incomplete. The last line of the code block in </div>
<div> <a href="http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero4/sysadmins/server-backup-and-restore.html#backing-up-your-postgresql-database">http://www.openmicroscopy.org/site/support/omero4/sysadmins/server-backup-and-restore.html#backing-up-your-postgresql-database</a></div>
<div>should read</div>
<div><span style="background-color:rgb(241,241,241); font-family:Consolas,'Deja Vu Sans Mono','Bitstream Vera Sans Mono',monospace; font-size:14px; line-height:16px; text-align:left">su $DATABASE_ADMIN -c "pg_dump -Fc -f $OUTPUT_DIRECTORY/$DATABASE.$DATE.pg_dump
$DATABASE"</span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This documentation will be updated for the imminent release of OMERO version 4.4.9 but in the meantime, if you are performing a backup, please ensure you include the additional $DATABASE at the end of the script. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Remember all sysadmins should be performing regular backups of the PostgreSQL database as, in the event of a catastrophic failure, no recovery of your OMERO server is possible without one.</div>
