Adds a (optional, default: false) pre-upgrade Hook that backups the metabase application database to a persistent volume using
pg_dumpso the "backup" gets easy:The connection parameters for
pg_dumpare configurable by extra variables, e.g. it's quite common that runningpg_dumprequires a special user to be executed.Currently, it requires a persistent volume where the backup is stored.
