#
# Daily binary backup of the `prop` Postgres database.
#
# Designed to run from cron on the database server itself. pg_dump writes
# to a local scratch path (fast NVMe) first so the DB connection isn't
# throttled by SMB/NFS throughput, then the completed file is copied
# over to /backups/prop (the network share) and atomically renamed into
# place. Dumps older than RETENTION_DAYS are pruned.
#
# Install a crontab entry like:
#
# 0 3 * * * BACKUP_DIR=/backups/prop /opt/backup_prop_db.sh >> /var/log/prop-backup.log 2>&1
#
# Restore:
#
# pg_restore -d prop_restore -Fc /backups/prop/prop_20260417_030000.dump
