Note on Patches/Pull Requests¶ ↑

Fork the project.
Make your feature addition or bug fix.
Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.
Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)
Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.

The SQL Dump file doesn't work in my testing

Hi there,

This looks like a great script for automated backups. I've tried it out and it does indeed backup daily. However when I do disaster recovery testing by trying to open the dump files in psql, they give syntax errors:


ERROR: syntax error at or near "PGDMP"
LINE 1: PGDMP ^
GRANT
GRANT
ERROR: syntax error at or near "id"
LINE 1: id integer NOT NULL, ^
ERROR: syntax error at or near ""
LINE 1: START WITH 1 ^ E
RROR: syntax error at or near ""
LINE 1: id integer NOT NULL,

etc. etc.

I was wondering if this is a problem with how the script dumps or just one with my schema. Perhaps it could be incompatibility?Have you had similar problems?

Thanks
Jack
