you can use the gem Backup.

Backup is a system utility for Linux and Mac OS X, distributed as a RubyGem, that allows you to easily perform backup operations. It provides an elegant DSL in Ruby for modeling your backups. Backup has built-in support for various databases, storage protocols/services, syncers, compressors, encryptors and notifiers which you can mix and match. It was built with modularity, extensibility and simplicity in mind.

Backup allows you to model your backup jobs using a Ruby DSL:

Backup::Model.new(:my_backup, 'Description for my_backup') do
  # ... Model Components ...
end

The :my_backup symbol is the model's trigger and used to perform the job:

$ backup perform --trigger my_backup

it also support PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Riak, SQLite
