What it does

Odoo Backup Strategy is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Complete Odoo backup and restore strategy: database dumps, filestore backup, automated scheduling, cloud storage upload, and tested restore procedures.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in DevOps & Cloud, covering Backup and disaster recovery. It works with Odoo. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backup and disaster recovery

Example prompts

  • “/odoo-backup-strategy”

Requirements

  • Docker

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Activate: Mention @odoo-backup-strategy and describe your server environment.
  2. Generate: Receive a complete backup script tailored to your setup.
  3. Restore: Get step-by-step restore instructions for any failure scenario.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • aws
    • docker
    • pg_dump

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use aws and docker, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Odoo Backup Strategy loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 326 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Odoo Backup Strategy

Overview

A complete Odoo backup must include both the PostgreSQL database and the filestore (attachments, images). This skill covers manual and automated backup procedures, offsite storage, and the correct restore sequence to bring a down Odoo instance back online.

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up a backup strategy for a production Odoo instance.
  • Automating daily backups with shell scripts and cron.
  • Restoring Odoo after a server failure or data corruption event.
  • Diagnosing a failed backup or corrupt restore.

How It Works

  1. Activate: Mention @odoo-backup-strategy and describe your server environment.
  2. Generate: Receive a complete backup script tailored to your setup.
  3. Restore: Get step-by-step restore instructions for any failure scenario.

Examples

Example 1: Manual Database + Filestore Backup
bash
#!/bin/bash
# backup_odoo.sh

DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
DB_NAME="odoo"
DB_USER="odoo"
FILESTORE_PATH="/var/lib/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/filestore/$DB_NAME"
BACKUP_DIR="/backups/odoo"

mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"

# Step 1: Dump the database
pg_dump -U $DB_USER -Fc $DB_NAME > "$BACKUP_DIR/db_$DATE.dump"

# Step 2: Archive the filestore
tar -czf "$BACKUP_DIR/filestore_$DATE.tar.gz" -C "$FILESTORE_PATH" .

echo "✅ Backup complete: db_$DATE.dump + filestore_$DATE.tar.gz"
Example 2: Automate with Cron (daily at 2 AM)
bash
# Run: crontab -e
# Add this line:
0 2 * * * /opt/scripts/backup_odoo.sh >> /var/log/odoo_backup.log 2>&1
Example 3: Upload to S3 (after backup)
bash
# Add to backup script after tar command:
aws s3 cp "$BACKUP_DIR/db_$DATE.dump"        s3://my-odoo-backups/db/
aws s3 cp "$BACKUP_DIR/filestore_$DATE.tar.gz" s3://my-odoo-backups/filestore/

# Optional: Delete local backups older than 7 days
find "$BACKUP_DIR" -type f -mtime +7 -delete
Example 4: Full Restore Procedure
bash
# Step 1: Stop Odoo
docker compose stop odoo  # or: systemctl stop odoo

# Step 2: Recreate and restore the database
# (--clean alone fails if the DB doesn't exist; drop and recreate first)
dropdb -U odoo odoo 2>/dev/null || true
createdb -U odoo odoo
pg_restore -U odoo -d odoo db_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.dump

# Step 3: Restore the filestore
FILESTORE=/var/lib/odoo/.local/share/Odoo/filestore/odoo
rm -rf "$FILESTORE"/*
tar -xzf filestore_YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS.tar.gz -C "$FILESTORE"/

# Step 4: Restart Odoo
docker compose start odoo

# Step 5: Verify — open Odoo in the browser and check:
#   - Can you log in?
#   - Are recent records visible?
#   - Are file attachments loading?

Best Practices

  • ✅ Do: Test restores monthly in a staging environment — a backup you've never restored is not a backup.
  • ✅ Do: Follow the 3-2-1 rule: 3 copies, 2 different media types, 1 offsite copy (e.g., S3 or a remote server).
  • ✅ Do: Back up immediately before every Odoo upgrade — this is your rollback point.
  • ✅ Do: Verify backup integrity: pg_restore --list backup.dump should complete without errors.
  • ❌ Don't: Back up only the database without the filestore — all attachments and images will be missing after a restore.
  • ❌ Don't: Store backups on the same disk or same server as Odoo — a disk or server failure destroys both.
  • ❌ Don't: Run pg_restore --clean against a non-existent database — always create the database first.

Limitations

  • Does not cover Odoo.sh built-in backups — Odoo.sh has its own backup system accessible from the dashboard.
  • This script assumes a single-database Odoo setup. Multi-database instances require looping over all databases.
  • Filestore path may differ between installations (Docker volume vs. bare-metal). Always verify the path with odoo-bin shell before running a restore.
  • Large filestores (100GB+) may require incremental backup tools like rsync or restic rather than full tar.gz archives.
