The story

These pages use illustrative scenarios to walk through real workbench panels. Sidebar labels, Bridge paths, and connection schemes match the app; characters and timelines are examples for learning.

Ops lead Dana schedules pg_dump before every schema migration — not because Postgres is fragile, but because rollback stories are easier with a .sql file in hand.

Backups panel downloads dumps and schedules jobs while Bridge is open. No cron syntax on server if you prefer desktop-triggered safety.

Backups is Ops, not daily driver — but when you need it, you need it now.

Bridge path: /database/backups

Step 1

Step 2

Schedule while Bridge runs

Schedule list shows last run.

Scheduled jobs require Bridge session per policy.

Step 3

Restore drill

Quarterly restore test — dump from Backups, restore to staging via Query lab psql.
Team trusts backups.
