- Update README.md with documentation for all new features
- 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
- Created MySQLIncrementalEngine with full feature parity to PostgreSQL
- MySQL-specific file exclusions (relay logs, binlogs, ib_logfile*, undo_*)
- FindChangedFiles() using mtime-based detection
- CreateIncrementalBackup() with tar.gz archive creation
- RestoreIncremental() with base + incremental overlay
- CLI integration: Auto-detect MySQL/MariaDB vs PostgreSQL
- Supports --backup-type incremental for MySQL/MariaDB
- Same interface and metadata format as PostgreSQL version
Implementation: Copy-paste-adapt from incremental_postgres.go
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 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()
- Implement context cleanup with sync.Once and io.Closer interface
- Add regex-based error classification for robust error handling
- Create ProcessManager with thread-safe process tracking
- Add disk space caching with 30s TTL for performance
- Implement metrics collection with structured logging
- Add config persistence (.dbbackup.conf) for directory-local settings
- Auto-save/auto-load configuration with --no-config and --no-save-config flags
- Successfully tested with 42GB d7030 database (35K large objects, 36min backup)
- All cross-platform builds working (9/10 platforms)
- 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
