Backing up the VCSA (vPostgres) via script

** UPDATE ** Last version of scripts had typo in removal of old files.

Hello,

For those of you that use the VCSA, backup can be a manual process.  VMware official KB:http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2034505

Attached is a script that will basically:

1. Create a custom log and error file
2. Ensure an existing process is not currently running or terminate if running for too long
3. Remove backups older than X days
4. Create a database dump and Gzip it
5. Verify the file is not empty

If you have any improvements on this script, please post here to share with everyone.

Thanks
