Tutorial
This tutorial covers the steps that are needed to backup and restore a Django project that uses a Dokku hosting with a Postgres database and a S3 Bucket as media storage.
Backup project

Connect to your server
Connect to the docker container: dokku enter <project_name>
python manage.py backup_project

Restore from backup

Connect to your server
Connect to the database: dokku postgres:connect db
Drop the database: DROP DATABASE <db_name>;
Recreate the database: CREATE DATABASE <db_name>;
Grant privileges: GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE <db_name> to <username>;
Exit the postgres console and the session on the server
Download the database dump file from the bucket to your local machine: s3cmd cp <path_of_dump_file> .
Move the dump file to the server: scp <path_of_dump_file> <server>
Connect to your server
Import the dump: cat <file_name> | sudo docker exec -i dokku.postgres.db psql -U <username> <db_name>
Remove the media folder of your bucket (s3cmd or web interface)
Open up the terminal on your local machine
Copy the backup of the media folder back to the bucket:
s3cmd cp --recursive --acl-public s3://backups/<project_name>/<timestamp>/media/ s3://<project_name>/media/
