• Dumps only the schema no data (PostgreSQL)
• Specify custom backup path

• Python 3.x installed
• Required Python packages (typer, pathlib)
• MySQL (mysqldump) or PostgreSQL (pg_dump, pg_dumpall) command-line tools installed and accessible from the terminal

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/alilotfi23/DBCapsule.git
   cd DBCapsule

• --all: Backup all databases
• --single <database_name>: Backup a single database by name.
• --path <backup_path>: Path to store the backup file.

1. Backup all MySQL databases:

   python dbcapsule.py --db-type mysql --all --path /path/to/your/backup/folder

2. Backup single MySQL databases:

    python dbcapsule.py --db-type mysql --single your_database_name --path /path/to/your/backup/folder

3. Backup a all PostgreSQL database:

    python dbcapsule.py --db-type postgres --all --path /path/to/your/backup/folder

4. Backup a single PostgreSQL database:

   python dbcapsule.py --db-type postgres --single your_database_name --path /path/to/your/backup/folder

5. Backup only the tablespaces of a single PostgreSQL database:

   python dbcapsule.py backup --db-type postgres --single mydatabase --tablespaces --path /path/to/backup

6. Backup only the schema of a single PostgreSQL database:

   python dbcapsule.py backup --db-type postgres --single mydatabase --schema --path /path/to/backup

• Make sure to provide correct database credentials when prompted.
• Ensure the specified backup path exists or allow the tool to create it.
