automated database backups

The database should be backed up on a regular basis (e.g., every few hours) to Amazon S3 or some other type of persistent storage. We've used this before with good success (scheduled via Celery, backed up to S3):

As a temporary measure, you can create a manual backup of the database by running a command like this:

fab download_prod_db:myvoice-backup-`date "+%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S"`.sql
