Greenmask is a powerful open-source utility that is designed for logical database backup dumping, anonymization, synthetic data generation and restoration. It has ported PostgreSQL libraries, making it reliable. It is stateless and does not require any changes to your database schema. It is designed to be highly customizable and backward-compatible with existing PostgreSQL utilities, fast and reliable.

Greenmask has a Playground - it is a sandbox environment in Docker with sample databases included to help you try Greenmask without any additional actions

It is evident that the most appropriate approach for executing logical backup dumping and restoration is by leveraging the core PostgreSQL utilities, specifically pg_dump and pg_restore. Greenmask has been purposefully designed to align with PostgreSQL's native utilities, ensuring compatibility. Greenmask primarily handles data dumping operations independently and delegates the responsibilities of schema dumping and restoration to pg_dump and pg_restore, maintaining seamless integration with PostgreSQL's standard tools.

Greenmask uses the directory format of pg_dump and pg_restore. This format is particularly suitable for parallel execution and partial restoration, and it includes clear metadata files that aid in determining the backup and restoration steps. Greenmask has been optimized to work seamlessly with remote storage systems and anonymization procedures.
