<h1>Getting started</h1>
<h2>Declare what to back up</h2>
<p>DBS backs up every model it finds. To narrow that, add a <code>dbs.py</code> to an app:</p>
<pre><code>from dbs import backup_registry, ModelBackup
from myapp.models import Invoice

@backup_registry.register
class InvoiceBackup(ModelBackup):
    model = Invoice</code></pre>
<h2>Take a backup</h2>
<p>From this panel, use <em>Take a backup</em>. From a shell:</p>
<pre><code>python manage.py dbs backup /var/backups/app.dbs</code></pre>
<h2>Keep taking them</h2>
<pre><code>python manage.py dbs schedule --interval 6h --output-dir /var/backups --keep 14</code></pre>
<p>Run one scheduler per output directory. Two loops sharing a directory race on retention.</p>
