BREAKING CHANGE: Removed 'large-db' as standalone profile
New Design:
- Resource Profiles now purely represent VM capacity:
conservative, balanced, performance, max-performance
- LargeDBMode is a separate boolean toggle that modifies any profile:
- Reduces ClusterParallelism and Jobs by 50%
- Forces MaxLocksPerTxn = 8192
- Increases MaintenanceWorkMem
TUI Changes:
- 'l' key now toggles LargeDBMode ON/OFF instead of applying large-db profile
- New 'Large DB Mode' setting in settings menu
- Settings are persisted to .dbbackup.conf
This allows any resource profile to be combined with large database
optimization, giving users more flexibility on both small and large VMs.
- ClusterParallelism now defaults to recommended profile (1 for small VMs)
- Jobs and DumpJobs now use profile values instead of raw CPU counts
- Small VMs (4 cores, 32GB) will now get 'conservative' or 'balanced' profile
with lower parallelism to avoid 'out of shared memory' errors
This fixes the issue where small VMs defaulted to ClusterParallelism=2
regardless of detected resources, causing restore failures on large DBs.
- Add memory detection for Linux, macOS, Windows
- Add 5 predefined profiles: conservative, balanced, performance, max-performance, large-db
- Add Resource Profile and Cluster Parallelism settings in TUI
- Add quick hotkeys: 'l' for large-db, 'c' for conservative, 'p' for recommendations
- Display system resources (CPU cores, memory) and recommended profile
- Auto-detect and recommend profile based on system resources
Fixes 'out of shared memory' errors when restoring large databases on small VMs.
Use 'large-db' or 'conservative' profile for large databases on constrained systems.
This is a critical bugfix release addressing multiple hardcoded temporary directory paths
that prevented proper use of the WorkDir configuration option.
PROBLEM:
Users configuring WorkDir (e.g., /u01/dba/tmp) for systems with small root filesystems
still experienced failures because critical operations hardcoded /tmp instead of respecting
the configured WorkDir. This made the WorkDir option essentially non-functional.
FIXED LOCATIONS:
1. internal/restore/engine.go:632 - CRITICAL: Used BackupDir instead of WorkDir for extraction
2. cmd/restore.go:354,834 - CLI restore/diagnose commands ignored WorkDir
3. cmd/migrate.go:208,347 - Migration commands hardcoded /tmp
4. internal/migrate/engine.go:120 - Migration engine ignored WorkDir
5. internal/config/config.go:224 - SwapFilePath hardcoded /tmp
6. internal/config/config.go:519 - Backup directory fallback hardcoded /tmp
7. internal/tui/restore_exec.go:161 - Debug logs hardcoded /tmp
8. internal/tui/settings.go:805 - Directory browser default hardcoded /tmp
9. internal/tui/restore_preview.go:474 - Display message hardcoded /tmp
NEW FEATURES:
- Added Config.GetEffectiveWorkDir() helper method
- WorkDir now respects WORK_DIR environment variable
- All temp operations now consistently use configured WorkDir with /tmp fallback
IMPACT:
- Restores on systems with small root disks now work properly with WorkDir configured
- Admins can control disk space usage for all temporary operations
- Debug logs, extraction dirs, swap files all respect WorkDir setting
Version: 3.42.1 (Critical Fix Release)
- Added WorkDir to Config for custom temp directory
- TUI Settings: new 'Work Directory' option to set alternative temp location
- Restore Preview: press 'w' to toggle work directory (uses backup dir as default)
- Diagnose View: now uses configured WorkDir for cluster extraction
- Config persistence: WorkDir saved to .dbbackup.conf
This fixes diagnosis/restore failures when /tmp is too small for large archives.
Use cases: servers with limited /tmp, 70GB+ archives needing 280GB+ extraction space.
- Fix format detection to read database_type from .meta.json metadata file
- Add ensureMySQLDatabaseExists() for MySQL/MariaDB database creation
- Route database creation to correct implementation based on db type
- Add TUI auto-forward in auto-confirm mode (no input required for debugging)
- All TUI components now exit automatically when --auto-confirm is set
- Fix status view to skip loading in auto-confirm mode
- Add .golangci.yml with minimal linters (govet, ineffassign)
- Run gofmt -s and goimports on all files to fix formatting
- Disable fieldalignment and copylocks checks in govet
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.
- Some terminals send ctrl+h instead of backspace
- Added ctrl+h handling in settings.go and input.go
- Ensures backspace works in all terminal emulators
- PostgreSQL and MySQL support
- Interactive TUI with fixed menu navigation
- Line-by-line progress display
- CPU-aware parallel processing
- Cross-platform build support
- Configuration settings menu
- Silent mode for TUI operations
