A Django application providing management commands to back up and restore project databases and media files using native database tools. It supports compression, GPG encryption, and multiple storage backends such as Amazon S3, Dropbox, and any Django-supported storage.

Use cases

• back up a Django database to S3
• restore a Django database from a backup
• encrypt database backups with GPG
• schedule automated Django database backups with cron or Celery
• sync a production database to a local development environment
• back up Django media files to remote storage

When to choose

• you run a Django project and need reliable database and media backups
• you want to use native database dump tools instead of slow dumpdata/loaddata
• you need encrypted, compressed backups sent to cloud or local storage
• you want scheduled backups via Crontab or Celery

When to avoid

• your project is not built on Django
• you need backups for non-Python web frameworks
• you require continuous point-in-time replication rather than periodic dumps
