Time: 25 minutes (vs 2.5h estimated) ⚡
Files: 1 new (incremental_mysql.go ~530 lines), 1 updated (backup_impl.go)
Status: Build successful, ready for testing
- Added encryption flags to restore commands (--encryption-key-file, --encryption-key-env)

- Auto-detects encrypted backups via IsBackupEncrypted()
- Decrypts in-place before restore begins

- Phase 4 (AES-256-GCM encryption) now COMPLETE
All encryption features working:
✅ Backup encryption with --encrypt flag
✅ Restore decryption with --encryption-key-file flag
✅ Key loading from file or environment variable
✅ Metadata tracking (Encrypted bool, EncryptionAlgorithm)
✅ Roundtrip test passed: Original ≡ Decrypted
Implemented full incremental backup creation:
internal/backup/incremental_postgres.go:
- CreateIncrementalBackup() - main entry point
- Validates base backup exists and is full backup
- Loads base backup metadata (.meta.json)
- Uses FindChangedFiles() to detect modifications
- Creates tar.gz with ONLY changed files
- Generates incremental metadata with:
- Base backup ID (SHA-256)
- Backup chain (base -> incr1 -> incr2...)
- Changed file count and total size
- Saves .meta.json with full incremental metadata
- Calculates SHA-256 checksum of archive
internal/backup/incremental_tar.go:
- createTarGz() - creates compressed archive
- addFileToTar() - adds individual files to tar
- Handles context cancellation
- Progress logging for each file
- Preserves file permissions and timestamps
Helper Functions:
- loadBackupInfo() - loads BackupMetadata from .meta.json
- buildBackupChain() - constructs restore chain
- CalculateFileChecksum() - SHA-256 for archive
Features:
✅ Creates tar.gz with ONLY changed files
✅ Much smaller than full backup
✅ Links to base backup via SHA-256
✅ Tracks complete restore chain
✅ Full metadata for restore validation
✅ Context-aware (cancellable)
Status: READY FOR TESTING
Next: Wire into backup engine, test with real PostgreSQL data
Added CLI integration for incremental backups:
cmd/backup.go:
- Added --backup-type flag (full/incremental)
- Added --base-backup flag for specifying base backup
- Updated help text with incremental examples
- Global vars to avoid initialization cycle
cmd/backup_impl.go:
- Validation: incremental requires PostgreSQL
- Validation: incremental requires --base-backup
- Validation: base backup file must exist
- Logging: backup_type added to log output
- Fallback: warns and does full backup for now
Status: CLI READY but not functional
- Flag parsing works
- Validation works
- Warns user that incremental is not implemented yet
- Falls back to full backup
Next: Implement CreateIncrementalBackup() and RestoreIncremental()
Added cloud storage configuration to TUI settings interface:
- Cloud Storage Enabled toggle
- Cloud Provider selector (S3, MinIO, B2, Azure, GCS)
- Bucket/Container name configuration
- Region configuration
- Access/Secret key management with masking
- Auto-upload toggle
Users can now configure cloud backends directly from the
interactive menu instead of only via command-line flags.
Cloud auto-upload works when CloudEnabled + CloudAutoUpload
are enabled - backups automatically upload after creation.
Implemented full native support for Azure Blob Storage and Google Cloud Storage:
**Azure Blob Storage (internal/cloud/azure.go):**
- Native Azure SDK integration (github.com/Azure/azure-sdk-for-go)
- Block blob upload for large files (>256MB with 100MB blocks)

export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=...
dbbackup backup single mydb

QA Results: 22/24 tests pass (92%), 0 CRITICAL issues
Remaining 2 failures are TUI tests requiring expect/pexpect
