DBSnapper Database Engines are available for the following databases:

• PostgreSQL Docker Image
  • Uses pg_dump, pg_restore, and psql in the docker image
  • Tested with Docker imagepostgres:latest

  • Uses pg_dump, pg_restore, and psql found in the path of the host system.
  • Tested with Postgres.app
• MySQL Docker image
  • Uses MySQL Shell (mysqlsh) client
  • Tested with Docker image mysql:8.0-oracle

Docker

DBSnapper uses Docker extensively for accessing datbase tools to create and restore snapshots. Additionally, DBSnapper uses Docker to sanitize data by spinning up ephemeral Docker containers.

• DBSnapper has been tested with Docker Desktop for Mac (v4.14.1)
