Adrian,

No, the current state is FUBAR'd. The cron backup script runs each night at
11:15 p.m.

> 2) What command did you use to create bustrac-2024-12-12.sql?

!/usr/bin/bash
#
# This script pg_dump to save the database w/date stamp

cd /data1/database-backups/
pg_dump -d bustrac -c -f bustrac-$(date +%Y-%m-%d).sql 
cd

Thanks,

Rich
