Django:Backup and restore

I have been reading about process to do backup and restore in django. The best i could come up with was to dumpdata. i.e. python manage.py dumpdata >foo.json

Now to restore this data we will have to delete or drop the present table, then restore this json file using it as a fixture. i.e. do syncdb Is there any particular way of doing this ? i.e. is there any process which can be used every-time we do backup and restore? I am looking for a tool like south, which can used for database backup and restore.

I am planning to get my site online.So any help will be highly appreciated.

The django-dbbackup package can do database backups and restores.

For proper backup and restore, use the tools that came with your database.

If you must use django, write your own custom management commands (but again, I question the wisdom of this).
