# Setting up postgres backup (optional)
The playbook can install and configure [docker-postgres-backup-local](https://github.com/prodrigestivill/docker-postgres-backup-local) for you via the [ansible-role-postgres-backup](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/ansible-role-postgres-backup) Ansible role.
For a more complete backup solution (one that includes not only Postgres, but also other configuration/data files), you may wish to look into [borg backup](configuring-playbook-backup-borg.md) instead.
## Adjusting the playbook configuration
To enable Postgres backup, add the following configuration to your `inventory/host_vars/matrix.DOMAIN/vars.yml` file:
2021-04-05 08:13:45 +00:00
```yaml
postgres_backup_enabled: true
2021-04-05 08:13:45 +00:00
```
Refer to the table below for additional configuration variables and their default values.
