-# Postgres backup/restore hook for the `postgres` service. Invoked by backupbot-two via:
-#   backupbot.backup.pre-hook     = "/pg_backup.sh backup"
-#   backupbot.backup.volumes.postgres_data.path = "backup.sql"
-#   backupbot.restore.post-hook   = "/pg_backup.sh restore"
-# Backup dumps the DB to backup.sql (gzip) inside the postgres volume; backupbot archives it.
-# Restore reimports it. The mattermost app keeps TCP connections open to the DB, so restore must
-# terminate them and FORCE-drop before recreating, then reimport the dump deterministically — the
-# previous recipe shipped no restore hook (file-level PGDATA restore did not reload into the running
-# postgres), so a restored backup silently kept the live (un-restored) state.
