Added missing TUI screen examples for restore operations:
- Restore Preview screen showing:
* Archive information (file, format, size, date)
* Cluster restore options with existing databases list
* Safety checks with status indicators (✓/✗/⚠)
* Cleanup warning when enabled
* Keyboard shortcuts
- Restore Progress screen showing:
* Current phase and status with spinner
* Database being restored with size
* Elapsed time
* Cancel instruction
Both screens match actual TUI implementation.
Enhanced documentation for --workdir flag:
- Added to Cluster Restore command reference section
- Added example to restore examples with clear "special case" comment
- Explained use case: VMs with small system disk but large NFS mounts
- Clarified it's NOT needed for standard deployments
- Prevents confusion about when to use this flag
Updated to match actual TUI implementation:
- Shows all 13 configuration fields with current values
- Includes database type cycling (PostgreSQL/MySQL/MariaDB)
- Shows Current Configuration summary section
- Displays keyboard shortcuts (↑/↓ navigate, Enter edit, 's' save, 'r' reset, 'q' menu)
- Matches screenshot appearance
The interactive menu display was outdated. Updated to match current implementation:
- Shows database engine switcher (PostgreSQL/MySQL/MariaDB)
- Lists all 13 menu options with separators
- Includes new features: Sample backup, Cluster operations, Active operations, History
- Matches actual TUI appearance from screenshots
Solves disk space issues on VMs with small system disks but large NFS mounts.
Use case:
- VM has small / partition (e.g., 7.8G with 2.3G used)
- Backup archive on NFS mount (e.g., /u01/dba with 140G free)
- Restore fails: "insufficient disk space: 74.7% used - need at least 4x archive size"
Solution:
- Added --workdir flag to restore cluster command
- Allows specifying alternative extraction directory
- Interactive confirmation required for safety
- Updated error messages with helpful tip
Example:
dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --workdir /u01/dba/restore_tmp --confirm
This is environmental, not a bug. Code working brilliantly! 👨🍳💋
