# Database Backup Automation
Generate production-ready backup scripts for PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and SQLite with compression, encryption, scheduling, and retention policies.
## Quick Start
### PostgreSQL Backup
```bash
#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail
BACKUP_DIR="/var/backups/postgresql"
DB_NAME="mydb"
DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
BACKUP_FILE="${BACKUP_DIR}/${DB_NAME}_${DATE}.sql.gz"
