v5.7.8: PostgreSQL DR Drill --no-owner --no-acl fix

### Fixed
- PostgreSQL DR Drill: Add --no-owner and --no-acl flags to pg_restore
  to avoid OWNER/GRANT errors when original roles don't exist in container

### Tested
- DR Drill verified on PostgreSQL keycloak (88 tables, 1686 rows, RTO: 1.36s)

+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to dbbackup will be documented in this file.
+
+The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.0.0/),
+and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/spec/v2.0.0.html).
+
+## [5.7.7] - 2026-02-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **DR Drill MariaDB**: Complete fixes for modern MariaDB containers
+  - Use TCP (127.0.0.1) instead of socket for health checks and restore
+  - Use `mariadb-admin` and `mariadb` client (not `mysqladmin`/`mysql`)
+  - Drop existing database before restore (backup contains CREATE DATABASE)
+  - Tested with MariaDB 12.1.2 image
+
+## [5.7.6] - 2026-02-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **Verify Command**: Fixed absolute path handling
+  - `dbbackup verify /full/path/to/backup.dump` now works correctly
+  - Previously always prefixed with `--backup-dir`, breaking absolute paths
+
+## [5.7.5] - 2026-02-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **SMTP Notifications**: Fixed false error on successful email delivery
+  - `client.Quit()` response "250 Ok: queued" was incorrectly treated as error
+  - Now properly closes data writer and ignores successful quit response
+
+## [5.7.4] - 2026-02-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **Notify Test Command** - Fixed `dbbackup notify test` to properly read NOTIFY_* environment variables
+  - Previously only checked `cfg.NotifyEnabled` which wasn't set from ENV
+  - Now uses `notify.ConfigFromEnv()` like the rest of the application
+  - Clear error messages showing exactly which ENV variables to set
+
+### Technical Details
+- `cmd/notify.go`: Refactored to use `notify.ConfigFromEnv()` instead of `cfg.*` fields
+
+## [5.7.3] - 2026-02-03
+
+### Fixed
+- **MariaDB Binlog Position Bug** - Fixed `getBinlogPosition()` to handle dynamic column count
+  - MariaDB `SHOW MASTER STATUS` returns 4 columns
+  - MySQL 5.6+ returns 5 columns (with `Executed_Gtid_Set`)
+  - Now tries 5 columns first, falls back to 4 columns for MariaDB compatibility
+
+### Improved
+- **Better `--password` Flag Error Message**
+  - Using `--password` now shows helpful error with instructions for `MYSQL_PWD`/`PGPASSWORD` environment variables
+  - Flag is hidden but accepted for better error handling
+
+- **Improved Fallback Logging for PostgreSQL Peer Authentication**
+  - Changed from `WARN: Native engine failed, falling back...` 
+  - Now shows `INFO: Native engine requires password auth, using pg_dump with peer authentication`
+  - Clearer indication that this is expected behavior, not an error
+
+- **Reduced Noise from Binlog Position Warnings**
+  - "Binary logging not enabled" now logged at DEBUG level (was WARN)
+  - "Insufficient privileges for binlog" now logged at DEBUG level (was WARN)
+  - Only unexpected errors still logged as WARN
+
+### Technical Details
+- `internal/engine/native/mysql.go`: Dynamic column detection in `getBinlogPosition()`
+- `cmd/root.go`: Added hidden `--password` flag with helpful error message
+- `cmd/backup_impl.go`: Improved fallback logging for peer auth scenarios

+
+## [5.5.2] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Fixed
+- **CRITICAL: Native Engine Array Type Support**
+  - Fixed: Array columns (e.g., `INTEGER[]`, `TEXT[]`) were exported as just `ARRAY`
+  - Now properly exports array types using PostgreSQL's `udt_name` from information_schema
+  - Supports all common array types: integer[], text[], bigint[], boolean[], bytea[], json[], jsonb[], uuid[], timestamp[], etc.
+
+### Verified Working

+
+## [5.5.1] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Fixed
+- **CRITICAL: Native Engine Restore Fixed** - Restore now connects to target database correctly
+  - Previously connected to source database, causing data to be written to wrong database
+  - Now creates engine with target database for proper restore
+
+- **CRITICAL: Native Engine Backup - Sequences Now Exported**
+  - Fixed: Sequences were silently skipped due to type mismatch in PostgreSQL query
+  - Cast `information_schema.sequences` string values to bigint
+  - Sequences now properly created BEFORE tables that reference them
+
+- **CRITICAL: Native Engine COPY Handling**
+  - Fixed: COPY FROM stdin data blocks now properly parsed and executed
+  - Replaced simple line-by-line SQL execution with proper COPY protocol handling
+  - Uses pgx `CopyFrom` for bulk data loading (100k+ rows/sec)
+
+- **Tool Verification Bypass for Native Mode**
+  - Skip pg_restore/psql check when `--native` flag is used
+  - Enables truly zero-dependency deployment
+
+- **Panic Fix: Slice Bounds Error**
+  - Fixed runtime panic when logging short SQL statements during errors
+
+### Technical Details
+- `internal/engine/native/manager.go`: Create new engine with target database for restore
+- `internal/engine/native/postgresql.go`: Fixed Restore() to handle COPY protocol, fixed getSequenceCreateSQL() type casting
+- `cmd/restore.go`: Skip VerifyTools when cfg.UseNativeEngine is true

+
+## [5.5.0] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Added
+- **🚀 Native Engine Support for Cluster Backup/Restore**
+  - NEW: `--native` flag for cluster backup creates SQL format (.sql.gz) using pure Go
+  - NEW: `--native` flag for cluster restore uses pure Go engine for .sql.gz files
+  - Zero external tool dependencies when using native mode
+  - Single-binary deployment now possible without pg_dump/pg_restore installed
+  
+- **Native Cluster Backup** (`dbbackup backup cluster --native`)
+  - Creates .sql.gz files instead of .dump files
+  - Uses pgx wire protocol for data export
+  - Parallel gzip compression with pgzip
+  - Automatic fallback to pg_dump if `--fallback-tools` is set
+  
+- **Native Cluster Restore** (`dbbackup restore cluster --native --confirm`)

+- `cmd/restore.go`: Added `--native` and `--fallback-tools` flags with PreRunE handlers
+- Version bumped to 5.5.0 (new feature release)
+
+## [5.4.6] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Fixed
+- **CRITICAL: Progress Tracking for Large Database Restores**
+  - Fixed "no progress" issue where TUI showed 0% for hours during large single-DB restore
+  - Root cause: Progress only updated after database *completed*, not during restore
+  - Heartbeat now reports estimated progress every 5 seconds (was 15s, text-only)
+  - Time-based progress estimation: ~10MB/s throughput assumption
+  - Progress capped at 95% until actual completion (prevents jumping to 100% too early)
+  
+- **Improved TUI Feedback During Long Restores**
+  - Shows spinner + elapsed time when byte-level progress not available
+  - Displays "pg_restore in progress (progress updates every 5s)" message
+  - Better visual feedback that restore is actively running
+
+### Technical Details
+- `reportDatabaseProgressByBytes()` now called during restore, not just after completion
+- Heartbeat interval reduced from 15s to 5s for more responsive feedback
+- TUI gracefully handles `CurrentDBTotal=0` case with activity indicator
+
+## [5.4.5] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Fixed
+- **Accurate Disk Space Estimation for Cluster Archives**
+  - Fixed WARNING showing 836GB for 119GB archive - was using wrong compression multiplier
+  - Cluster archives (.tar.gz) contain pre-compressed .dump files → now uses 1.2x multiplier
+  - Single SQL files (.sql.gz) still use 5x multiplier (was 7x, slightly optimized)
+  - New `CheckSystemMemoryWithType(size, isClusterArchive)` method for accurate estimates
+  - 119GB cluster archive now correctly estimates ~143GB instead of ~833GB
+
+## [5.4.4] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Fixed
+- **TUI Header Separator Fix** - Capped separator length at 40 chars to prevent line overflow on wide terminals
+
+## [5.4.3] - 2026-02-02
+
+### Fixed
+- **Bulletproof SIGINT Handling** - Zero zombie processes guaranteed
+  - All external commands now use `cleanup.SafeCommand()` with process group isolation
+  - `KillCommandGroup()` sends signals to entire process group (-pgid)
+  - No more orphaned pg_restore/pg_dump/psql/pigz processes on Ctrl+C
+  - 16 files updated with proper signal handling
+
+- **Eliminated External gzip Process** - The `zgrep` command was spawning `gzip -cdfq`
+  - Replaced with in-process pgzip decompression in `preflight.go`
+  - `estimateBlobsInSQL()` now uses pure Go pgzip.NewReader
+  - Zero external gzip processes during restore
+
+## [5.1.22] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Added
+- **Restore Metrics for Prometheus/Grafana** - Now you can monitor restore performance!
+  - `dbbackup_restore_total{status="success|failure"}` - Total restore count
+  - `dbbackup_restore_duration_seconds{profile, parallel_jobs}` - Restore duration
+  - `dbbackup_restore_parallel_jobs{profile}` - Jobs used (shows if turbo=8 is working!)
+  - `dbbackup_restore_size_bytes` - Restored archive size
+  - `dbbackup_restore_last_timestamp` - Last restore time
+  
+- **Grafana Dashboard: Restore Operations Section**
+  - Total Successful/Failed Restores
+  - Parallel Jobs Used (RED if 1=SLOW, GREEN if 8=TURBO)
+  - Last Restore Duration with thresholds
+  - Restore Duration Over Time graph
+  - Parallel Jobs per Restore bar chart
+
+- **Restore Engine Metrics Recording**
+  - All single database and cluster restores now record metrics
+  - Stored in `~/.dbbackup/restore_metrics.json`
+  - Prometheus exporter reads and exposes these metrics
+
+## [5.1.21] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Fixed
+- **Complete verification of profile system** - Full code path analysis confirms TURBO works:
+  - CLI: `--profile turbo` → `config.ApplyProfile()` → `cfg.Jobs=8` → `pg_restore --jobs=8`
+  - TUI: Settings → `ApplyResourceProfile()` → `cpu.GetProfileByName("turbo")` → `cfg.Jobs=8`
+  - Updated help text for `restore cluster` command to show turbo example
+  - Updated flag description to list all profiles: conservative, balanced, turbo, max-performance
+
+## [5.1.20] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Fixed
+- **CRITICAL: "turbo" and "max-performance" profiles were NOT recognized in restore command!**
+  - `profile.go` only had: conservative, balanced, aggressive, potato
+  - "turbo" profile returned ERROR "unknown profile" and SILENTLY fell back to "balanced"
+  - "balanced" profile has `Jobs: 0` which became `Jobs: 1` after default fallback
+  - **Result: --profile turbo was IGNORED and restore ran with --jobs=1 (single-threaded)**
+  - Added turbo profile: Jobs=8, ParallelDBs=2
+  - Added max-performance profile: Jobs=8, ParallelDBs=4
+  - NOW `--profile turbo` correctly uses `pg_restore --jobs=8`
+
+## [5.1.19] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Fixed
+- **CRITICAL: pg_restore --jobs flag was NEVER added when Parallel <= 1** - Root cause finally found and fixed:
+  - In `BuildRestoreCommand()` the condition was `if options.Parallel > 1` which meant `--jobs` flag was NEVER added when Parallel was 1 or less
+  - Changed to `if options.Parallel > 0` so `--jobs` is ALWAYS set when Parallel > 0
+  - This was THE root cause why restores took 12+ hours instead of ~4 hours
+  - Now `pg_restore --jobs=8` is correctly generated for turbo profile
+
+## [5.1.18] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Fixed
+- **CRITICAL: Profile Jobs setting now ALWAYS respected** - Removed multiple code paths that were overriding user's profile Jobs setting:
+  - `restoreSection()` for phased restores now uses `--jobs` flag (was missing entirely!)
+  - Removed auto-fallback that forced `Jobs=1` when PostgreSQL locks couldn't be boosted
+  - Removed auto-fallback that forced `Jobs=1` on low memory detection
+  - User's profile choice (turbo, performance, etc.) is now respected - only warnings are logged
+  - This was causing restores to take 9+ hours instead of ~4 hours with turbo profile
+
+## [5.1.17] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Fixed
+- **TUI Settings now persist to disk** - Settings changes in TUI are now saved to `.dbbackup.conf` file, not just in-memory
+- **Native Engine is now the default** - Pure Go engine (no external tools required) is now the default instead of external tools mode
+
+## [5.1.16] - 2026-02-01
+
+### Fixed
+- **Critical: pg_restore parallel jobs now actually used** - Fixed bug where `--jobs` flag and profile `Jobs` setting were completely ignored for `pg_restore`. The code had hardcoded `Parallel: 1` instead of using `e.cfg.Jobs`, causing all restores to run single-threaded regardless of configuration. This fix enables 3-4x faster restores matching native `pg_restore -j8` performance.
+  - Affected functions: `restorePostgreSQLDump()`, `restorePostgreSQLDumpWithOwnership()`
+  - Now logs `parallel_jobs` value for visibility
+  - Turbo profile with `Jobs: 8` now correctly passes `--jobs=8` to pg_restore
+
+## [5.1.15] - 2026-01-31

+## [4.2.7] - 2026-01-30
+
+### Added - HIGH Priority Features
+
+- **#9: Auto Backup Verification (HIGH priority)**
+  - Automatic integrity verification after every backup (default: ON)
+  - Single DB backups: Full SHA-256 checksum verification
+  - Cluster backups: Quick tar.gz structure validation (header scan)
+  - Prevents corrupted backups from being stored undetected
+  - Can disable with `--no-verify` flag or `VERIFY_AFTER_BACKUP=false`
+  - Performance overhead: +5-10% for single DB, +1-2% for cluster
+  - **Problem**: Backups not verified until restore time (too late to fix)
+  - **Solution**: Immediate feedback on backup integrity, fail-fast on corruption
+
+### Fixed - Performance & Reliability
+
+- **#5: TUI Memory Leak in Long Operations (HIGH priority)**
+  - Throttled progress speed samples to max 10 updates/second (100ms intervals)

+- **SEC#1: Password exposure in process list**
+  - Removed `--password` CLI flag to prevent passwords appearing in `ps aux`
+  - Use environment variables (`PGPASSWORD`, `MYSQL_PWD`) or config file instead
+  - Enhanced security for multi-user systems and shared environments
+
+- **SEC#2: World-readable backup files**
+  - All backup files now created with 0600 permissions (owner-only read/write)
+  - Prevents unauthorized users from reading sensitive database dumps
+  - Affects: `internal/backup/engine.go`, `incremental_mysql.go`, `incremental_tar.go`
+  - Critical for GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance
+
+- **#4: Directory race condition in parallel backups**
+  - Replaced `os.MkdirAll()` with `fs.SecureMkdirAll()` that handles EEXIST gracefully
+  - Prevents "file exists" errors when multiple backup processes create directories
+  - Affects: All backup directory creation paths
+
+### Added
+
+- **internal/fs/secure.go**: New secure file operations utilities
+  - `SecureMkdirAll()`: Race-condition-safe directory creation
+  - `SecureCreate()`: File creation with 0600 permissions
+  - `SecureMkdirTemp()`: Temporary directories with 0700 permissions
+  - `CheckWriteAccess()`: Proactive detection of read-only filesystems
+
+- **internal/exitcode/codes.go**: BSD-style exit codes for automation
+  - Standard exit codes for scripting and monitoring systems
+  - Improves integration with systemd, cron, and orchestration tools
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Fixed multiple file creation calls using insecure 0644 permissions
+- Fixed race conditions in backup directory creation during parallel operations
+- Improved security posture for multi-user and shared environments
+
+
+### Fixed - TUI Cluster Restore Double-Extraction
+
+- **TUI cluster restore performance optimization**
+  - Eliminated double-extraction: cluster archives were scanned twice (once for DB list, once for restore)
+  - `internal/restore/extract.go`: Added `ListDatabasesFromExtractedDir()` to list databases from disk instead of tar scan
+  - `internal/tui/cluster_db_selector.go`: Now pre-extracts cluster once, lists from extracted directory
+  - `internal/tui/archive_browser.go`: Added `ExtractedDir` field to `ArchiveInfo` for passing pre-extracted path
+  - `internal/tui/restore_exec.go`: Reuses pre-extracted directory when available
+  - **Performance improvement:** 50GB cluster archive now processes once instead of twice (saves 5-15 minutes)
+  - Automatic cleanup of extracted directory after restore completes or fails
+
+## [4.2.4] - 2026-01-30
+
+### Fixed - Comprehensive Ctrl+C Support Across All Operations
+
+- **System-wide context-aware file operations**
+  - All long-running I/O operations now respond to Ctrl+C
+  - Added `CopyWithContext()` to cloud package for S3/Azure/GCS transfers
+  - Partial files are cleaned up on cancellation
+
+- **Fixed components:**
+  - `internal/restore/extract.go`: Single DB extraction from cluster
+  - `internal/wal/compression.go`: WAL file compression/decompression
+  - `internal/restore/engine.go`: SQL restore streaming (2 paths)
+  - `internal/backup/engine.go`: pg_dump/mysqldump streaming (3 paths)
+  - `internal/cloud/s3.go`: S3 download interruption
+  - `internal/cloud/azure.go`: Azure Blob download interruption
+  - `internal/cloud/gcs.go`: GCS upload/download interruption
+  - `internal/drill/engine.go`: DR drill decompression
+
+## [4.2.3] - 2026-01-30
+
+### Fixed - Cluster Restore Performance & Ctrl+C Handling
+
+- **Removed redundant gzip validation in cluster restore**
+  - `ValidateAndExtractCluster()` no longer calls `ValidateArchive()` internally
+  - Previously validation happened 2x before extraction (caller + internal)
+  - Eliminates duplicate gzip header reads on large archives
+  - Reduces cluster restore startup time
+
+- **Fixed Ctrl+C not working during extraction**
+  - Added `CopyWithContext()` function for context-aware file copying
+  - Extraction now checks for cancellation every 1MB of data
+  - Ctrl+C immediately interrupts large file extractions
+  - Partial files are cleaned up on cancellation
+  - Applies to both `ExtractTarGzParallel` and `extractArchiveWithProgress`
+
+## [4.2.2] - 2026-01-30
+
+### Fixed - Complete pgzip Migration (Backup Side)
+
+- **Removed ALL external gzip/pigz calls from backup engine**
+  - `internal/backup/engine.go`: `executeWithStreamingCompression` now uses pgzip
+  - `internal/parallel/engine.go`: Fixed stub gzipWriter to use pgzip
+  - No more gzip/pigz processes visible in htop during backup
+  - Uses klauspost/pgzip for parallel multi-core compression
+
+- **Complete pgzip migration status**:
+  - Backup: All compression uses in-process pgzip
+  - Restore: All decompression uses in-process pgzip  
+  - Drill: Decompress on host with pgzip before Docker copy
+  - WARNING: PITR only: PostgreSQL's `restore_command` must remain shell (PostgreSQL limitation)
+
+## [4.2.1] - 2026-01-30
+
+### Fixed - Complete pgzip Migration
+
+- **Removed ALL external gunzip/gzip calls** - Systematic audit and fix
+  - `internal/restore/engine.go`: SQL restores now use pgzip stream → psql/mysql stdin
+  - `internal/drill/engine.go`: Decompress on host with pgzip before Docker copy
+  - No more gzip/gunzip/pigz processes visible in htop during restore
+  - Uses klauspost/pgzip for parallel multi-core decompression
+
+- **PostgreSQL PITR exception** - `restore_command` in recovery config must remain shell
+  - PostgreSQL itself runs this command to fetch WAL files
+  - Cannot be replaced with Go code (PostgreSQL limitation)
+
+## [4.2.0] - 2026-01-30
+
+### Added - Quick Wins Release
+
+- **`dbbackup health` command** - Comprehensive backup infrastructure health check
+  - 10 automated health checks: config, DB connectivity, backup dir, catalog, freshness, gaps, verification, file integrity, orphans, disk space

+  - Auto-generates actionable recommendations
+  - Custom backup interval for gap detection: `--interval 12h`
+  - Skip database check for offline mode: `--skip-db`
+  - Example: `dbbackup health --format json`
+
+- **TUI System Health Check** - Interactive health monitoring
+  - Accessible via Tools → System Health Check
+  - Runs all 10 checks asynchronously with progress spinner

+
+- **`dbbackup diff` command** - Compare two backups and track changes
+  - Flexible input: file paths, catalog IDs, or `database:latest/previous`
+  - Shows size delta with percentage change
+  - Calculates database growth rate (GB/day)
+  - Projects time to reach 10GB threshold
+  - Compares backup duration and compression efficiency
+  - JSON output for automation and reporting
+  - Example: `dbbackup diff mydb:latest mydb:previous`
+
+- **`dbbackup cost analyze` command** - Cloud storage cost optimization
+  - Analyzes 15 storage tiers across 5 cloud providers
+  - AWS S3: Standard, IA, Glacier Instant/Flexible, Deep Archive

+  - Azure Blob Storage: Hot, Cool, Archive
+  - Backblaze B2 and Wasabi alternatives
+  - Monthly/annual cost projections
+  - Savings calculations vs S3 Standard baseline
+  - Tiered lifecycle strategy recommendations
+  - Shows potential savings of 90%+ with proper policies
+  - Example: `dbbackup cost analyze --database mydb`
+
+### Enhanced
+- **TUI restore preview** - Added RTO estimates and size calculations
+  - Shows estimated uncompressed size during restore confirmation
+  - Displays estimated restore time based on current profile
+  - Helps users make informed restore decisions
+  - Keeps TUI simple (essentials only), detailed analysis in CLI
+
+### Documentation
+- Updated README.md with new commands and examples
+- Created QUICK_WINS.md documenting the rapid development sprint
+- Added backup diff and cost analysis sections
+
+## [4.1.4] - 2026-01-29
+
+### Added
+- **New `turbo` restore profile** - Maximum restore speed, matches native `pg_restore -j8`
+  - `ClusterParallelism = 2` (restore 2 DBs concurrently)
+  - `Jobs = 8` (8 parallel pg_restore jobs)
+  - `BufferedIO = true` (32KB write buffers for faster extraction)
+  - Works on 16GB+ RAM, 4+ cores
+  - Usage: `dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --profile=turbo --confirm`
+
+- **Restore startup performance logging** - Shows actual parallelism settings at restore start
+  - Logs profile name, cluster_parallelism, pg_restore_jobs, buffered_io
+  - Helps verify settings before long restore operations
+
+- **Buffered I/O optimization** - 32KB write buffers during tar extraction (turbo profile)
+  - Reduces system call overhead
+  - Improves I/O throughput for large archives
+
+### Fixed
+- **TUI now respects saved profile settings** - Previously TUI forced `conservative` profile on every launch, ignoring user's saved configuration. Now properly loads and respects saved settings.
+
+### Changed
+- TUI default profile changed from forced `conservative` to `balanced` (only when no profile configured)
+- `LargeDBMode` no longer forced on TUI startup - user controls it via settings
+
+## [4.1.3] - 2026-01-27
+
+### Added
+- **`--config` / `-c` global flag** - Specify config file path from anywhere
+  - Example: `dbbackup --config /opt/dbbackup/.dbbackup.conf backup single mydb`
+  - No longer need to `cd` to config directory before running commands
+  - Works with all subcommands (backup, restore, verify, etc.)
+
+## [4.1.2] - 2026-01-27
+
+### Added
+- **`--socket` flag for MySQL/MariaDB** - Connect via Unix socket instead of TCP/IP
+  - Usage: `dbbackup backup single mydb --db-type mysql --socket /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock`
+  - Works for both backup and restore operations
+  - Supports socket auth (no password required with proper permissions)
+
+### Fixed
+- **Socket path as --host now works** - If `--host` starts with `/`, it's auto-detected as a socket path
+  - Example: `--host /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock` now works correctly instead of DNS lookup error
+  - Auto-converts to `--socket` internally
+
+## [4.1.1] - 2026-01-25
+
+### Added
+- **`dbbackup_build_info` metric** - Exposes version and git commit as Prometheus labels
+  - Useful for tracking deployed versions across a fleet
+  - Labels: `server`, `version`, `commit`
+
+### Fixed
+- **Documentation clarification**: The `pitr_base` value for `backup_type` label is auto-assigned
+  by `dbbackup pitr base` command. CLI `--backup-type` flag only accepts `full` or `incremental`.
+  This was causing confusion in deployments.
+
+## [4.1.0] - 2026-01-25
+
+### Added
+- **Backup Type Tracking**: All backup metrics now include a `backup_type` label
+  (`full`, `incremental`, or `pitr_base` for PITR base backups)
+- **PITR Metrics**: Complete Point-in-Time Recovery monitoring
+  - `dbbackup_pitr_enabled` - Whether PITR is enabled (1/0)

+    PITRStorageGrowing, PITRDisabledUnexpectedly
+- **`dbbackup_backup_by_type` metric** - Count backups by type
+
+### Changed
+- `dbbackup_backup_total` type changed from counter to gauge for snapshot-based collection
+
+## [3.42.110] - 2026-01-24

+  - `DBBackupRPOCritical` - No backup in 24+ hours (critical)
+  - `DBBackupRPOWarning` - No backup in 12+ hours (warning)
+  - `DBBackupFailure` - Backup failures detected
+  - `DBBackupNotVerified` - Backup not verified in 24h
+  - `DBBackupDedupRatioLow` - Dedup ratio below 10%
+  - `DBBackupDedupDiskGrowth` - Rapid storage growth prediction
+  - `DBBackupExporterDown` - Metrics exporter not responding
+  - `DBBackupMetricsStale` - Metrics not updated in 10+ minutes

+- Fixed staticcheck warnings for redundant fmt.Sprintf calls
+- Logger optimizations: buffer pooling, early level check, pre-allocated maps
+- Clone engine now validates disk space before operations
+
+## [3.42.108] - 2026-01-24
+
+### Added - TUI Tools Expansion
+- **Table Sizes** - view top 100 tables sorted by size with row counts, data/index breakdown
+  - Supports PostgreSQL (`pg_stat_user_tables`) and MySQL (`information_schema.TABLES`)
+  - Shows total/data/index sizes, row counts, schema prefix for non-public schemas
+
+- **Kill Connections** - manage active database connections
+  - List all active connections with PID, user, database, state, query preview, duration
+  - Kill single connection or all connections to a specific database
+  - Useful before restore operations to clear blocking sessions
+  - Supports PostgreSQL (`pg_terminate_backend`) and MySQL (`KILL`)
+
+- **Drop Database** - safely drop databases with double confirmation
+  - Lists user databases (system DBs hidden: postgres, template0/1, mysql, sys, etc.)
+  - Requires two confirmations: y/n then type full database name
+  - Auto-terminates connections before drop
+  - Supports PostgreSQL and MySQL
+
+## [3.42.107] - 2026-01-24

+  - Provides recommendations for databases with >100MB blob data
+
+## [3.42.106] - 2026-01-24
+
+### Fixed - Cluster Restore Resilience & Performance
+- **Fixed cluster restore failing on missing roles** - harmless "role does not exist" errors no longer abort restore
+  - Added role-related errors to `isIgnorableError()` with warning log
+  - Removed `ON_ERROR_STOP=1` from psql commands (pre-validation catches real corruption)
+  - Restore now continues gracefully when referenced roles don't exist in target cluster
+  - Previously caused 12h+ restores to fail at 94% completion
+
+- **Fixed TUI output scrambling in screen/tmux sessions** - added terminal detection
+  - Uses `go-isatty` to detect non-interactive terminals (backgrounded screen sessions, pipes)
+  - Added `viewSimple()` methods for clean line-by-line output without ANSI escape codes
+  - TUI menu now shows warning when running in non-interactive terminal
+
+### Changed - Consistent Parallel Compression (pgzip)
+- **Migrated all gzip operations to parallel pgzip** - 2-4x faster compression/decompression on multi-core systems
+  - Systematic audit found 17 files using standard `compress/gzip`
+  - All converted to `github.com/klauspost/pgzip` for consistent performance
+  - **Files updated**:
+    - `internal/backup/`: incremental_tar.go, incremental_extract.go, incremental_mysql.go
+    - `internal/wal/`: compression.go (CompressWALFile, DecompressWALFile, VerifyCompressedFile)
+    - `internal/engine/`: clone.go, snapshot_engine.go, mysqldump.go, binlog/file_target.go
+    - `internal/restore/`: engine.go, safety.go, formats.go, error_report.go
+    - `internal/pitr/`: mysql.go, binlog.go
+    - `internal/dedup/`: store.go
+    - `cmd/`: dedup.go, placeholder.go
+  - **Benefit**: Large backup/restore operations now fully utilize available CPU cores
+
+## [3.42.105] - 2026-01-23
+
+### Changed - TUI Visual Cleanup
+- **Removed ASCII box characters** from backup/restore success/failure banners
+  - Replaced `╔═╗║╚╝` boxes with clean `═══` horizontal line separators
+  - Cleaner, more modern appearance in terminal output
+- **Consolidated duplicate styles** in TUI components
+  - Unified check status styles (passed/failed/warning/pending) into global definitions
+  - Reduces code duplication across restore preview and diagnose views
+
+## [3.42.98] - 2025-01-23
+
+### Fixed - Critical Bug Fixes for v3.42.97
+- **Fixed CGO/SQLite build issue** - binaries now work when compiled with `CGO_ENABLED=0`
+  - Switched from `github.com/mattn/go-sqlite3` (requires CGO) to `modernc.org/sqlite` (pure Go)
+  - All cross-compiled binaries now work correctly on all platforms
+  - No more "Binary was compiled with 'CGO_ENABLED=0', go-sqlite3 requires cgo to work" errors
+
+- **Fixed MySQL positional database argument being ignored**
+  - `dbbackup backup single <dbname> --db-type mysql` now correctly uses `<dbname>`
+  - Previously defaulted to 'postgres' regardless of positional argument
+  - Also fixed in `backup sample` command
+
+## [3.42.97] - 2025-01-23
+
+### Added - Bandwidth Throttling for Cloud Uploads
+- **New `--bandwidth-limit` flag for cloud operations** - prevent network saturation during business hours
+  - Works with S3, GCS, Azure Blob Storage, MinIO, Backblaze B2
+  - Supports human-readable formats:
+    - `10MB/s`, `50MiB/s` - megabytes per second
+    - `100KB/s`, `500KiB/s` - kilobytes per second  
+    - `1GB/s` - gigabytes per second
+    - `100Mbps` - megabits per second (for network-minded users)
+    - `unlimited` or `0` - no limit (default)
+  - Environment variable: `DBBACKUP_BANDWIDTH_LIMIT`
+  - **Example usage**:
+    ```bash
+    # Limit upload to 10 MB/s during business hours
+    dbbackup cloud upload backup.dump --bandwidth-limit 10MB/s
+    
+    # Environment variable for all operations
+    export DBBACKUP_BANDWIDTH_LIMIT=50MiB/s
+    ```
+  - **Implementation**: Token-bucket style throttling with 100ms windows for smooth rate limiting
+  - **DBA requested feature**: Avoid saturating production network during scheduled backups
+
+## [3.42.96] - 2025-02-01
+
+### Changed - Complete Elimination of Shell tar/gzip Dependencies
+- **All tar/gzip operations now 100% in-process** - ZERO shell dependencies for backup/restore
+  - Removed ALL remaining `exec.Command("tar", ...)` calls
+  - Removed ALL remaining `exec.Command("gzip", ...)` calls
+  - Systematic code audit found and eliminated:
+    - `diagnose.go`: Replaced `tar -tzf` test with direct file open check
+    - `large_restore_check.go`: Replaced `gzip -t` and `gzip -l` with in-process pgzip verification
+    - `pitr/restore.go`: Replaced `tar -xf` with in-process tar extraction
+  - **Benefits**:
+    - No external tool dependencies (works in minimal containers)
+    - 2-4x faster on multi-core systems using parallel pgzip
+    - More reliable error handling with Go-native errors
+    - Consistent behavior across all platforms
+    - Reduced attack surface (no shell spawning)
+  - **Verification**: `strace` and `ps aux` show no tar/gzip/gunzip processes during backup/restore
+  - **Note**: Docker drill container commands still use gunzip for in-container operations (intentional)
+
+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Added - Single Database Extraction from Cluster Backups (CLI + TUI)
+- **Extract and restore individual databases from cluster backups** - selective restore without full cluster restoration
+  - **CLI Commands**:
+    - **List databases**: `dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --list-databases`
+      - Shows all databases in cluster backup with sizes
+      - Fast scan without full extraction
+    - **Extract single database**: `dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --database myapp --output-dir /tmp/extract`
+      - Extracts only the specified database dump
+      - No restore, just file extraction
+    - **Restore single database from cluster**: `dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --database myapp --confirm`
+      - Extracts and restores only one database
+      - Much faster than full cluster restore when you only need one database
+    - **Rename on restore**: `dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --database myapp --target myapp_test --confirm`
+      - Restore with different database name (useful for testing)
+    - **Extract multiple databases**: `dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --databases "app1,app2,app3" --output-dir /tmp/extract`
+      - Comma-separated list of databases to extract
+  - **TUI Support**:
+    - Press **'s'** on any cluster backup in archive browser to select individual databases
+    - New **ClusterDatabaseSelector** view shows all databases with sizes
+    - Navigate with arrow keys, select with Enter
+    - Automatic handling when cluster backup selected in single restore mode
+    - Full restore preview and confirmation workflow
+  - **Benefits**:
+    - Faster restores (extract only what you need)
+    - Less disk space usage during restore
+    - Easy database migration/copying
+    - Better testing workflow
+    - Selective disaster recovery
+
+### Performance - Cluster Restore Optimization
+- **Eliminated duplicate archive extraction in cluster restore** - saves 30-50% time on large restores
+  - Previously: Archive was extracted twice (once in preflight validation, once in actual restore)
+  - Now: Archive extracted once and reused for both validation and restore
+  - **Time savings**:
+    - 50 GB cluster: ~3-6 minutes faster
+    - 10 GB cluster: ~1-2 minutes faster
+    - Small clusters (<5 GB): ~30 seconds faster
+  - Optimization automatically enabled when `--diagnose` flag is used
+  - New `ValidateAndExtractCluster()` performs combined validation + extraction
+  - `RestoreCluster()` accepts optional `preExtractedPath` parameter to reuse extracted directory
+  - Disk space checks intelligently skipped when using pre-extracted directory
+  - Maintains backward compatibility - works with and without pre-extraction
+  - Log output shows optimization: `"Using pre-extracted cluster directory ... optimization: skipping duplicate extraction"`
+
+### Improved - Archive Validation
+- **Enhanced tar.gz validation with stream-based checks**
+  - Fast header-only validation (validates gzip + tar structure without full extraction)
+  - Checks gzip magic bytes (0x1f 0x8b) and tar header signature
+  - Reduces preflight validation time from minutes to seconds on large archives
+  - Falls back to full extraction only when necessary (with `--diagnose`)
+
+### Added - PostgreSQL lock verification (CLI + preflight)
+- **`dbbackup verify-locks`** — new CLI command that probes PostgreSQL GUCs (`max_locks_per_transaction`, `max_connections`, `max_prepared_transactions`) and prints total lock capacity plus actionable restore guidance.
+- **Integrated into preflight checks** — preflight now warns/fails when lock settings are insufficient and provides exact remediation commands and recommended restore flags (e.g. `--jobs 1 --parallel-dbs 1`).
+- **Implemented in Go (replaces `verify_postgres_locks.sh`)** with robust parsing, sudo/`psql` fallback and unit-tested decision logic.
+- **Files:** `cmd/verify_locks.go`, `internal/checks/locks.go`, `internal/checks/locks_test.go`, `internal/checks/preflight.go`.
+- **Why:** Prevents repeated parallel-restore failures by surfacing lock-capacity issues early and providing bulletproof guidance.
+
+## [3.42.74] - 2026-01-20 "Resource Profile System + Critical Ctrl+C Fix"
+
+### Critical Bug Fix
+- **Fixed Ctrl+C not working in TUI backup/restore** - Context cancellation was broken in TUI mode
+  - `executeBackupWithTUIProgress()` and `executeRestoreWithTUIProgress()` created new contexts with `WithCancel(parentCtx)`
+  - When user pressed Ctrl+C, `model.cancel()` was called on parent context but execution had separate context
+  - Fixed by using parent context directly instead of creating new one
+  - Ctrl+C/ESC/q now properly propagate cancellation to running operations
+  - Users can now interrupt long-running TUI operations
+
+### Added - Resource Profile System
+- **`--profile` flag for restore operations** with three presets:
+  - **Conservative** (`--profile=conservative`): Single-threaded (`--parallel=1`), minimal memory usage
+    - Best for resource-constrained servers, shared hosting, or when "out of shared memory" errors occur
+    - Automatically enables `LargeDBMode` for better resource management
+  - **Balanced** (default): Auto-detect resources, moderate parallelism
+    - Good default for most scenarios
+  - **Aggressive** (`--profile=aggressive`): Maximum parallelism, all available resources
+    - Best for dedicated database servers with ample resources
+  - **Potato** (`--profile=potato`): Easter egg, same as conservative
+- **Profile system applies to both CLI and TUI**:
+  - CLI: `dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --profile=conservative --confirm`
+  - TUI: Automatically uses conservative profile for safer interactive operation
+- **User overrides supported**: `--jobs` and `--parallel-dbs` flags override profile settings
+- **New `internal/config/profile.go`** module:
+  - `GetRestoreProfile(name)` - Returns profile settings

+- All profiles support both single and cluster restore operations
+
+## [3.42.50] - 2026-01-16 "Ctrl+C Signal Handling Fix"
+
+### Fixed - Proper Ctrl+C/SIGINT Handling in TUI
+- **Added tea.InterruptMsg handling** - Bubbletea v1.3+ sends `InterruptMsg` for SIGINT signals
+  instead of a `KeyMsg` with "ctrl+c", causing cancellation to not work
+- **Fixed cluster restore cancellation** - Ctrl+C now properly cancels running restore operations
+- **Fixed cluster backup cancellation** - Ctrl+C now properly cancels running backup operations
+- **Added interrupt handling to main menu** - Proper cleanup on SIGINT from menu
+- **Orphaned process cleanup** - `cleanup.KillOrphanedProcesses()` called on all interrupt paths
+
+### Changed
+- All TUI execution views now handle both `tea.KeyMsg` ("ctrl+c") and `tea.InterruptMsg`
+- Context cancellation properly propagates to child processes via `exec.CommandContext`
+- No zombie pg_dump/pg_restore/gzip processes left behind on cancellation
+
+## [3.42.49] - 2026-01-16 "Unified Cluster Backup Progress"
+
+### Added - Unified Progress Display for Cluster Backup
+- **Combined overall progress bar** for cluster backup showing all phases:

+## [3.42.48] - 2026-01-15 "Unified Cluster Restore Progress"
+
+### Added - Unified Progress Display for Cluster Restore
+- **Combined overall progress bar** showing progress across all restore phases:
+  - Phase 1/3: Extracting Archive (0-60% of overall)
+  - Phase 2/3: Restoring Globals (60-65% of overall)
+  - Phase 3/3: Restoring Databases (65-100% of overall)
+- **Current database indicator** - Shows which database is currently being restored
+- **Phase-aware progress tracking** - New fields in progress state:
+  - `overallPhase` - Current phase (1=extraction, 2=globals, 3=databases)
+  - `currentDB` - Name of database currently being restored
+  - `extractionDone` - Boolean flag for phase transition
+- **Dual progress bars** for cluster restore:
+  - Overall progress bar showing combined operation progress

+- Extraction completion triggers automatic transition to globals phase
+- Database restore phase shows current database name with spinner
+
+### Improved
+- Better visual feedback during entire cluster restore operation
+- Clear phase indicators help users understand restore progress
+- Overall progress percentage gives better time estimates
+
+## [3.42.35] - 2026-01-15 "TUI Detailed Progress"
+
+### Added - Enhanced TUI Progress Display
+- **Detailed progress bar in TUI restore** - schollz-style progress bar with:
+  - Byte progress display (e.g., `245 MB / 1.2 GB`)
+  - Transfer speed calculation (e.g., `45 MB/s`)
+  - ETA prediction for long operations
+  - Unicode block-based visual bar
+- **Real-time extraction progress** - Archive extraction now reports actual bytes processed

+- Falls back to shell `tar` command when no progress callback is set (faster)
+
+### Technical Details
+- `progressReader` wrapper tracks bytes read through gzip/tar pipeline
+- Throttled progress updates (every 100ms) to avoid UI flooding
+- Thread-safe shared state pattern for cross-goroutine progress updates
+
+## [3.42.34] - 2026-01-14 "Filesystem Abstraction"
+
+### Added - spf13/afero for Filesystem Abstraction
+- **New `internal/fs` package** for testable filesystem operations
+- **In-memory filesystem** for unit testing without disk I/O
+- **Global FS interface** that can be swapped for testing:
+  ```go
+  fs.SetFS(afero.NewMemMapFs())  // Use memory
+  fs.ResetFS()                    // Back to real disk
+  ```
+- **Wrapper functions** for all common file operations:
+  - `ReadFile`, `WriteFile`, `Create`, `Open`, `Remove`, `RemoveAll`

+- **Comprehensive test suite** demonstrating usage
+
+### Changed
+- Upgraded afero from v1.10.0 to v1.15.0
+
+## [3.42.33] - 2026-01-14 "Exponential Backoff Retry"
+
+### Added - cenkalti/backoff for Cloud Operation Retry
+- **Exponential backoff retry** for all cloud operations (S3, Azure, GCS)
+- **Retry configurations**:
+  - `DefaultRetryConfig()` - 5 retries, 500ms→30s backoff, 5 min max
+  - `AggressiveRetryConfig()` - 10 retries, 1s→60s backoff, 15 min max
+  - `QuickRetryConfig()` - 3 retries, 100ms→5s backoff, 30s max

+- **Retry logging** - Each retry attempt is logged with wait duration
+
+### Changed
+- S3 simple upload, multipart upload, download now retry on transient failures
+- Azure simple upload, download now retry on transient failures
+- GCS upload, download now retry on transient failures
+- Large file multipart uploads use `AggressiveRetryConfig()` (more retries)
+
+## [3.42.32] - 2026-01-14 "Cross-Platform Colors"
+
+### Added - fatih/color for Cross-Platform Terminal Colors
+- **Windows-compatible colors** - Native Windows console API support
+- **Color helper functions** in `logger` package:
+  - `Success()`, `Error()`, `Warning()`, `Info()` - Status messages with icons

+
+## [3.42.30] - 2026-01-09 "Better Error Aggregation"
+
+### Added - go-multierror for Cluster Restore Errors
+- **Enhanced error reporting** - Now shows ALL database failures, not just a count
+- Uses `hashicorp/go-multierror` for proper error aggregation
+- Each failed database error is preserved with full context
+- Bullet-pointed error output for readability:
+  ```
+  cluster restore completed with 3 failures:
+  3 database(s) failed:
+    • db1: restore failed: max_locks_per_transaction exceeded
+    • db2: restore failed: connection refused
+    • db3: failed to create database: permission denied
+  ```
+
+### Changed
+- Replaced string slice error collection with proper `*multierror.Error`
+- Thread-safe error aggregation with dedicated mutex
+- Improved error wrapping with `%w` for error chain preservation
+
+## [3.42.10] - 2026-01-08 "Code Quality"
+
+### Fixed - Code Quality Issues
+- Removed deprecated `io/ioutil` usage (replaced with `os`)
+- Fixed `os.DirEntry.ModTime()` → `file.Info().ModTime()`
+- Removed unused fields and variables
+- Fixed ineffective assignments in TUI code
+- Fixed error strings (no capitalization, no trailing punctuation)
+
+## [3.42.9] - 2026-01-08 "Diagnose Timeout Fix"
+
+### Fixed - diagnose.go Timeout Bugs
+
+**More short timeouts that caused large archive failures:**
+
+- `diagnoseClusterArchive()`: tar listing 60s → **5 minutes**
+- `verifyWithPgRestore()`: pg_restore --list 60s → **5 minutes**
+- `DiagnoseClusterDumps()`: archive listing 120s → **10 minutes**
+
+**Impact:** These timeouts caused "context deadline exceeded" errors when
+diagnosing multi-GB backup archives, preventing TUI restore from even starting.
+
+## [3.42.8] - 2026-01-08 "TUI Timeout Fix"
+
+### Fixed - TUI Timeout Bugs Causing Backup/Restore Failures
+
+**ROOT CAUSE of 2-3 month TUI backup/restore failures identified and fixed:**
+
+#### Critical Timeout Fixes:
+- **restore_preview.go**: Safety check timeout increased from 60s → **10 minutes**
+  - Large archives (>1GB) take 2+ minutes to diagnose
+  - Users saw "context deadline exceeded" before backup even started
+- **dbselector.go**: Database listing timeout increased from 15s → **60 seconds**
+  - Busy PostgreSQL servers need more time to respond
+- **status.go**: Status check timeout increased from 10s → **30 seconds**
+  - SSL negotiation and slow networks caused failures
+
+#### Stability Improvements:
+- **Panic recovery** added to parallel goroutines in:
+  - `backup/engine.go:BackupCluster()` - cluster backup workers
+  - `restore/engine.go:RestoreCluster()` - cluster restore workers
+  - Prevents single database panic from crashing entire operation
+
+#### Bug Fix:
+- **restore/engine.go**: Fixed variable shadowing `err` → `cmdErr` for exit code detection
+
+## [3.42.7] - 2026-01-08 "Context Killer Complete"
+
+### Fixed - Additional Deadlock Bugs in Restore & Engine
+
+**All remaining cmd.Wait() deadlock bugs fixed across the codebase:**
+
+#### internal/restore/engine.go:
+- `executeRestoreWithDecompression()` - gunzip/pigz pipeline restore
+- `extractArchive()` - tar extraction for cluster restore
+- `restoreGlobals()` - pg_dumpall globals restore
+
+#### internal/backup/engine.go:
+- `createArchive()` - tar/pigz archive creation pipeline
+
+#### internal/engine/mysqldump.go:
+- `Backup()` - mysqldump backup operation
+- `BackupToWriter()` - streaming mysqldump to writer
+
+**All 6 functions now use proper channel-based context handling with Process.Kill().**
+
+## [3.42.6] - 2026-01-08 "Deadlock Killer"
+
+### Fixed - Backup Command Context Handling
+
+**Critical Bug: pg_dump/mysqldump could hang forever on context cancellation**
+
+The `executeCommand`, `executeCommandWithProgress`, `executeMySQLWithProgressAndCompression`, 
+and `executeMySQLWithCompression` functions had a race condition where:
+
+1. A goroutine was spawned to read stderr
+2. `cmd.Wait()` was called directly
+3. If context was cancelled, the process was NOT killed
+4. The goroutine could hang forever waiting for stderr
+
+**Fix**: All backup execution functions now use proper channel-based context handling:
+```go
+// Wait for command with context handling
+cmdDone := make(chan error, 1)
+go func() {
+    cmdDone <- cmd.Wait()
+}()
+
+select {
+case cmdErr = <-cmdDone:
+    // Command completed
+case <-ctx.Done():
+    // Context cancelled - kill process
+    cmd.Process.Kill()
+    <-cmdDone
+    cmdErr = ctx.Err()
+}
+```
+
+**Affected Functions:**
+- `executeCommand()` - pg_dump for cluster backup
+- `executeCommandWithProgress()` - pg_dump for single backup with progress
+- `executeMySQLWithProgressAndCompression()` - mysqldump pipeline
+- `executeMySQLWithCompression()` - mysqldump pipeline
+
+**This fixes:** Backup operations hanging indefinitely when cancelled or timing out.
+
+## [3.42.5] - 2026-01-08 "False Positive Fix"
+
+### Fixed - Encryption Detection Bug
+
+**IsBackupEncrypted False Positive:**
+- **BUG FIX**: `IsBackupEncrypted()` returned `true` for ALL files, blocking normal restores
+- Root cause: Fallback logic checked if first 12 bytes (nonce size) could be read - always true
+- Fix: Now properly detects known unencrypted formats by magic bytes:
+  - Gzip: `1f 8b`
+  - PostgreSQL custom: `PGDMP`
+  - Plain SQL: starts with `--`, `SET`, `CREATE`
+- Returns `false` if no metadata present and format is recognized as unencrypted
+- Affected file: `internal/backup/encryption.go`
+
+## [3.42.4] - 2026-01-08 "The Long Haul"
+
+### Fixed - Critical Restore Timeout Bug
+
+**Removed Arbitrary Timeouts from Backup/Restore Operations:**
+- **CRITICAL FIX**: Removed 4-hour timeout that was killing large database restores
+- PostgreSQL cluster restores of 69GB+ databases no longer fail with "context deadline exceeded"
+- All backup/restore operations now use `context.WithCancel` instead of `context.WithTimeout`
+- Operations run until completion or manual cancellation (Ctrl+C)
+
+**Affected Files:**
+- `internal/tui/restore_exec.go`: Changed from 4-hour timeout to context.WithCancel
+- `internal/tui/backup_exec.go`: Changed from 4-hour timeout to context.WithCancel  
+- `internal/backup/engine.go`: Removed per-database timeout in cluster backup
+- `cmd/restore.go`: CLI restore commands use context.WithCancel
+
+**exec.Command Context Audit:**
+- Fixed `exec.Command` without Context in `internal/restore/engine.go:730`
+- Added proper context handling to all external command calls
+- Added timeouts only for quick diagnostic/version checks (not restore path):
+  - `restore/version_check.go`: 30s timeout for pg_restore --version check only
+  - `restore/error_report.go`: 10s timeout for tool version detection
+  - `restore/diagnose.go`: 60s timeout for diagnostic functions
+  - `pitr/binlog.go`: 10s timeout for mysqlbinlog --version check
+  - `cleanup/processes.go`: 5s timeout for process listing
+  - `auth/helper.go`: 30s timeout for auth helper commands
+
+**Verification:**
+- 54 total `exec.CommandContext` calls verified in backup/restore/pitr path
+- 0 `exec.Command` without Context in critical restore path
+- All 14 PostgreSQL exec calls use CommandContext (pg_dump, pg_restore, psql)
+- All 15 MySQL/MariaDB exec calls use CommandContext (mysqldump, mysql, mysqlbinlog)
+- All 14 test packages pass
+
+### Technical Details
+- Large Object (BLOB/BYTEA) restores are particularly affected by timeouts
+- 69GB database with large objects can take 5+ hours to restore
+- Previous 4-hour hard timeout was causing consistent failures
+- Now: No timeout - runs until complete or user cancels
+
+## [3.42.1] - 2026-01-07 "Resistance is Futile"
+
+### Added - Content-Defined Chunking Deduplication
+
+**Deduplication Engine:**
+- New `dbbackup dedup` command family for space-efficient backups
+- Gear hash content-defined chunking (CDC) with 92%+ overlap on shifted data

+- AES-256-GCM per-chunk encryption (optional, via `--encrypt`)
+- Gzip compression enabled by default
+- SQLite index for fast chunk lookups
+- JSON manifests track chunks per backup with full verification
+
+**Dedup Commands:**
+```bash
+dbbackup dedup backup <file>              # Create deduplicated backup
+dbbackup dedup backup <file> --encrypt    # With encryption
+dbbackup dedup restore <id> <output>      # Restore from manifest
+dbbackup dedup list                       # List all backups
+dbbackup dedup stats                      # Show deduplication statistics
+dbbackup dedup delete <id>                # Delete a backup manifest
+dbbackup dedup gc                         # Garbage collect unreferenced chunks
+```
+
+**Storage Structure:**
+```
+<backup-dir>/dedup/
+  chunks/           # Content-addressed chunk files (sharded by hash prefix)
+  manifests/        # JSON manifest per backup
+  chunks.db         # SQLite index for fast lookups
+```
+
+**Test Results:**
+- First 5MB backup: 448 chunks, 5MB stored
+- Modified 5MB file: 448 chunks, only 1 NEW chunk (1.6KB), 100% dedup ratio
+- Restore with SHA-256 verification
+
+### Added - Documentation Updates
+- Prometheus alerting rules added to SYSTEMD.md
+- Catalog sync instructions for existing backups
+
+## [3.41.1] - 2026-01-07

+- Built-in dry-run mode (`--dry-run`) to preview installation
+- `dbbackup install --status` shows current installation state
+- `dbbackup uninstall` cleanly removes all systemd units and optionally configuration
+
+**Prometheus Metrics Support:**
+- New `dbbackup metrics export` command writes textfile collector format
+- New `dbbackup metrics serve` command runs HTTP exporter on port 9399

+
+## [3.41.0] - 2026-01-07 "The Pre-Flight Check"
+
+### Added - Pre-Restore Validation
+
+**Automatic Dump Validation Before Restore:**
+- SQL dump files are now validated BEFORE attempting restore
+- Detects truncated COPY blocks that cause "syntax error" failures
+- Catches corrupted backups in seconds instead of wasting 49+ minutes

+
+### Fixed
+- **P0: SQL Injection** - Added identifier validation for database names in CREATE/DROP DATABASE to prevent SQL injection attacks; uses safe quoting and regex validation (alphanumeric + underscore only)
+- **P0: Data Race** - Fixed concurrent goroutines appending to shared error slice in notification manager; now uses mutex synchronization
+- **P0: psql ON_ERROR_STOP** - Added `-v ON_ERROR_STOP=1` to psql commands to fail fast on first error instead of accumulating millions of errors
+- **P1: Pipe deadlock** - Fixed streaming compression deadlock when pg_dump blocks on full pipe buffer; now uses goroutine with proper context timeout handling
+- **P1: SIGPIPE handling** - Detect exit code 141 (broken pipe) and report compressor failure as root cause
+- **P2: .dump validation** - Custom format dumps now validated with `pg_restore --list` before restore
+- **P2: fsync durability** - Added `outFile.Sync()` after streaming compression to prevent truncation on power loss
+- Truncated `.sql.gz` dumps no longer waste hours on doomed restores
+- "syntax error at or near" errors now caught before restore begins
+- Cluster restores abort immediately if any dump is corrupted
+
+### Technical Details
+- Integrated `Diagnoser` into restore pipeline for pre-validation
+- Added `quickValidateSQLDump()` for fast integrity checks
+- Pre-validation runs on all `.sql.gz` and `.dump` files in cluster archives
+- Streaming compression uses channel-based wait with context cancellation
+- Zero performance impact on valid backups (diagnosis is fast)
+
+---

+
+## [3.0.0] - 2025-11-26
+
+### Added - AES-256-GCM Encryption (Phase 4)
+
+**Secure Backup Encryption:**
+- **Algorithm**: AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption (prevents tampering)
+- **Key Derivation**: PBKDF2-SHA256 with 600,000 iterations (OWASP 2024 recommended)
+- **Streaming Encryption**: Memory-efficient for large backups (O(buffer) not O(file))
+- **Key Sources**: File (raw/base64), environment variable, or passphrase
+- **Auto-Detection**: Restore automatically detects and decrypts encrypted backups
+- **Metadata Tracking**: Encrypted flag and algorithm stored in .meta.json
+
+**CLI Integration:**
+- `--encrypt` - Enable encryption for backup operations
+- `--encryption-key-file <path>` - Path to 32-byte encryption key (raw or base64 encoded)
+- `--encryption-key-env <var>` - Environment variable containing key (default: DBBACKUP_ENCRYPTION_KEY)
+- Automatic decryption on restore (no extra flags needed)
+
+**Security Features:**
+- Unique nonce per encryption (no key reuse vulnerabilities)
+- Cryptographically secure random generation (crypto/rand)
+- Key validation (32 bytes required)
+- Authenticated encryption prevents tampering attacks
+- 56-byte header: Magic(16) + Algorithm(16) + Nonce(12) + Salt(32)
+
+**Usage Examples:**
+```bash
+# Generate encryption key
+head -c 32 /dev/urandom | base64 > encryption.key
+
+# Encrypted backup
+./dbbackup backup single mydb --encrypt --encryption-key-file encryption.key
+
+# Restore (automatic decryption)
+./dbbackup restore single mydb_backup.sql.gz --encryption-key-file encryption.key --confirm
+```
+
+**Performance:**
+- Encryption speed: ~1-2 GB/s (streaming, no memory bottleneck)
+- Overhead: 56 bytes header + 16 bytes GCM tag per file
+- Key derivation: ~1.4s for 600k iterations (intentionally slow for security)
+
+**Files Added:**
+- `internal/crypto/interface.go` - Encryption interface and configuration
+- `internal/crypto/aes.go` - AES-256-GCM implementation (272 lines)
+- `internal/crypto/aes_test.go` - Comprehensive test suite (all tests passing)
+- `cmd/encryption.go` - CLI encryption helpers
+- `internal/backup/encryption.go` - Backup encryption operations
+- Total: ~1,200 lines across 13 files
+
+### Added - Incremental Backups (Phase 3B)
+
+**MySQL/MariaDB Incremental Backups:**
+- **Change Detection**: mtime-based file modification tracking
+- **Archive Format**: tar.gz containing only changed files since base backup
+- **Space Savings**: 70-95% smaller than full backups (typical)
+- **Backup Chain**: Tracks base → incremental relationships with metadata
+- **Checksum Verification**: SHA-256 integrity checking
+- **Auto-Detection**: CLI automatically uses correct engine for PostgreSQL vs MySQL
+
+**MySQL-Specific Exclusions:**
+- Relay logs (relay-log, relay-bin*)
+- Binary logs (mysql-bin*, binlog*)
+- InnoDB redo logs (ib_logfile*)
+- InnoDB undo logs (undo_*)
+- Performance schema (in-memory)
+- Temporary files (#sql*, *.tmp)
+- Lock files (*.lock, auto.cnf.lock)
+- PID files (*.pid, mysqld.pid)
+- Error logs (*.err, error.log)
+- Slow query logs (*slow*.log)
+- General logs (general.log, query.log)
+
+**CLI Integration:**
+- `--backup-type <full|incremental>` - Backup type (default: full)
+- `--base-backup <path>` - Path to base backup (required for incremental)
+- Auto-detects database type (PostgreSQL vs MySQL) and uses appropriate engine
+- Same interface for both database types
+
+**Usage Examples:**
+```bash
+# Full backup (base)
+./dbbackup backup single mydb --db-type mysql --backup-type full
+
+# Incremental backup
+./dbbackup backup single mydb \
+  --db-type mysql \
+  --backup-type incremental \
+  --base-backup /backups/mydb_20251126.tar.gz
+
+# Restore incremental
+./dbbackup restore incremental \
+  --base-backup mydb_base.tar.gz \
+  --incremental-backup mydb_incr_20251126.tar.gz \
+  --target /restore/path
+```
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Copy-paste-adapt from Phase 3A PostgreSQL (95% code reuse)
+- Interface-based design enables sharing tests between engines
+- `internal/backup/incremental_mysql.go` - MySQL incremental engine (530 lines)
+- All existing tests pass immediately (interface compatibility)
+- Development time: 30 minutes (vs 5-6h estimated) - **10x speedup!**
+
+**Combined Features:**
+```bash
+# Encrypted + Incremental backup
+./dbbackup backup single mydb \
+  --backup-type incremental \
+  --base-backup mydb_base.tar.gz \
+  --encrypt \
+  --encryption-key-file key.txt
+```

+# Native Database Engine Implementation Summary
+
+## Current Status: Full Native Engine Support (v5.5.0+)
+
+**Goal:** Zero dependency on external tools (pg_dump, pg_restore, mysqldump, mysql)
+
+**Reality:** Native engine is **NOW AVAILABLE FOR ALL OPERATIONS** when using `--native` flag!
+
+## Engine Support Matrix
+
+| Operation | Default Mode | With `--native` Flag |
+|-----------|-------------|---------------------|
+| **Single DB Backup** | ✅ Native Go | ✅ Native Go |
+| **Single DB Restore** | ✅ Native Go | ✅ Native Go |
+| **Cluster Backup** | pg_dump (custom format) | ✅ **Native Go** (SQL format) |
+| **Cluster Restore** | pg_restore | ✅ **Native Go** (for .sql.gz files) |
+
+### NEW: Native Cluster Operations (v5.5.0)
+
+```bash
+# Native cluster backup - creates SQL format dumps, no pg_dump needed!
+./dbbackup backup cluster --native
+
+# Native cluster restore - restores .sql.gz files with pure Go, no pg_restore!
+./dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --native --confirm
+```
+
+### Format Selection
+
+| Format | Created By | Restored By | Size | Speed |
+|--------|------------|-------------|------|-------|
+| **SQL** (.sql.gz) | Native Go or pg_dump | Native Go or psql | Larger | Medium |
+| **Custom** (.dump) | pg_dump -Fc | pg_restore only | Smaller | Fast (parallel) |
+
+### When to Use Native Mode
+
+**Use `--native` when:**
+- External tools (pg_dump/pg_restore) are not installed
+- Running in minimal containers without PostgreSQL client
+- Building a single statically-linked binary deployment
+- Simplifying disaster recovery procedures
+
+**Use default mode when:**
+- Maximum backup/restore performance is critical
+- You need parallel restore with `-j` option
+- Backup size is a primary concern
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+### Core Native Engines
+
+1. **PostgreSQL Native Engine** (`internal/engine/native/postgresql.go`)
+   - Pure Go implementation using `pgx/v5` driver
+   - Direct PostgreSQL protocol communication
+   - Native SQL generation and COPY data export
+   - Advanced data type handling with proper escaping
+
+2. **MySQL Native Engine** (`internal/engine/native/mysql.go`)
+   - Pure Go implementation using `go-sql-driver/mysql`
+   - Direct MySQL protocol communication
+   - Batch INSERT generation with proper data type handling
+   - Binary data support with hex encoding
+
+3. **Engine Manager** (`internal/engine/native/manager.go`)
+   - Pluggable architecture for engine selection
+   - Configuration-based engine initialization
+   - Unified backup orchestration across engines
+
+4. **Restore Engine Framework** (`internal/engine/native/restore.go`)
+   - Parses SQL statements from backup
+   - Uses `CopyFrom` for COPY data
+   - Progress tracking and status reporting
+
+## Configuration
+
+```bash
+# SINGLE DATABASE (native is default for SQL format)
+./dbbackup backup single mydb              # Uses native engine
+./dbbackup restore backup.sql.gz --native  # Uses native engine
+
+# CLUSTER BACKUP
+./dbbackup backup cluster                  # Default: pg_dump custom format
+./dbbackup backup cluster --native         # NEW: Native Go, SQL format
+
+# CLUSTER RESTORE
+./dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --confirm          # Default: pg_restore
+./dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --native --confirm # NEW: Native Go for .sql.gz files
+
+# FALLBACK MODE
+./dbbackup backup cluster --native --fallback-tools  # Try native, fall back if fails
+```
+
+### Config Defaults
+
+```go
+// internal/config/config.go
+UseNativeEngine: true,   // Native is default for single DB
+FallbackToTools: true,   // Fall back to tools if native fails
+```
+
+## When Native Engine is Used
+
+### ✅ Native Engine for Single DB (Default)
+
+```bash
+# Single DB backup to SQL format
+./dbbackup backup single mydb
+# → Uses native.PostgreSQLNativeEngine.Backup()
+# → Pure Go: pgx COPY TO STDOUT
+
+# Single DB restore from SQL format  
+./dbbackup restore mydb_backup.sql.gz --database=mydb
+# → Uses native.PostgreSQLRestoreEngine.Restore()
+# → Pure Go: pgx CopyFrom()
+```
+
+### ✅ Native Engine for Cluster (With --native Flag)
+
+```bash
+# Cluster backup with native engine
+./dbbackup backup cluster --native
+# → For each database: native.PostgreSQLNativeEngine.Backup()
+# → Creates .sql.gz files (not .dump)
+# → Pure Go: no pg_dump required!
+
+# Cluster restore with native engine
+./dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --native --confirm
+# → For each .sql.gz: native.PostgreSQLRestoreEngine.Restore()
+# → Pure Go: no pg_restore required!
+```
+
+### External Tools (Default for Cluster, or Custom Format)
+
+```bash
+# Cluster backup (default - uses custom format for efficiency)
+./dbbackup backup cluster
+# → Uses pg_dump -Fc for each database
+# → Reason: Custom format enables parallel restore
+
+# Cluster restore (default)
+./dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --confirm
+# → Uses pg_restore for .dump files
+# → Uses native engine for .sql.gz files automatically!
+
+# Single DB restore from .dump file
+./dbbackup restore mydb_backup.dump --database=mydb
+# → Uses pg_restore
+# → Reason: Custom format binary file
+```
+
+## Performance Comparison
+
+| Method | Format | Backup Speed | Restore Speed | File Size | External Tools |
+|--------|--------|-------------|---------------|-----------|----------------|
+| Native Go | SQL.gz | Medium | Medium | Larger | ❌ None |
+| pg_dump/restore | Custom | Fast | Fast (parallel) | Smaller | ✅ Required |
+
+### Recommendation
+
+| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
+|----------|------------------|
+| No PostgreSQL tools installed | `--native` |
+| Minimal container deployment | `--native` |
+| Maximum performance needed | Default (pg_dump) |
+| Large databases (>10GB) | Default with `-j8` |
+| Disaster recovery simplicity | `--native` |

+                           PostgreSQL restores data
+```
+
+## CLI Flags
+
+```bash
+--native              # Use native engine for backup/restore (works for cluster too!)
+--fallback-tools      # Fall back to external if native fails
+--native-debug        # Enable native engine debug logging
+```
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+1. ~~Add SQL format option for cluster backup~~ ✅ **DONE in v5.5.0**
+
+2. **Implement custom format parser in Go**
+   - Very complex (PostgreSQL proprietary format)
+   - Would enable native restore of .dump files
+
+3. **Add parallel native restore**
+   - Parse SQL file into table chunks
+   - Restore multiple tables concurrently
+
+## Summary
+
+| Feature | Default | With `--native` |
+|---------|---------|-----------------|
+| Single DB backup (SQL) | ✅ Native Go | ✅ Native Go |
+| Single DB restore (SQL) | ✅ Native Go | ✅ Native Go |
+| Single DB restore (.dump) | pg_restore | pg_restore |
+| Cluster backup | pg_dump (.dump) | ✅ **Native Go (.sql.gz)** |
+| Cluster restore (.dump) | pg_restore | pg_restore |
+| Cluster restore (.sql.gz) | psql | ✅ **Native Go** |
+| MySQL backup | ✅ Native Go | ✅ Native Go |
+| MySQL restore | ✅ Native Go | ✅ Native Go |
+
+**Bottom Line:** With `--native` flag, dbbackup can now perform **ALL operations** without external tools, as long as you create native-format backups. This enables single-binary deployment with zero PostgreSQL client dependencies.

+
+**Bottom Line:** Native engine works for SQL format operations. Cluster operations use external tools because PostgreSQL's custom format provides better performance and features.

-#### Interactive Features
+**Resource Profiles for Large Databases:**
 
-The interactive mode provides a menu-driven interface for all database operations:
+When restoring large databases on VMs with limited resources, use the resource profile settings to prevent "out of shared memory" errors:
 
-- **Backup Operations**: Single database, full cluster, or sample backups
-- **Restore Operations**: Database or cluster restoration with safety checks
-- **Configuration Management**: Auto-save/load settings per directory (.dbbackup.conf)
-- **Backup Archive Management**: List, verify, and delete backup files
-- **Performance Tuning**: CPU workload profiles (Balanced, CPU-Intensive, I/O-Intensive)
-- **Safety Features**: Disk space verification, archive validation, confirmation prompts
-- **Progress Tracking**: Real-time progress indicators with ETA estimation
-- **Error Handling**: Context-aware error messages with actionable hints
+| Profile | Cluster Parallel | Jobs | Best For |
+|---------|------------------|------|----------|
+| conservative | 1 | 1 | Small VMs (<16GB RAM) |
+| balanced | 2 | 2-4 | Medium VMs (16-32GB RAM) |
+| performance | 4 | 4-8 | Large servers (32GB+ RAM) |
+| max-performance | 8 | 8-16 | High-end servers (64GB+) |
 
-**Configuration Persistence:**
+**Large DB Mode:** Toggle with `l` key. Reduces parallelism by 50% and sets max_locks_per_transaction=8192 for complex databases with many tables/LOBs.
 
-Settings are automatically saved to .dbbackup.conf in the current directory after successful operations and loaded on subsequent runs. This allows per-project configuration without global settings.
+**Quick shortcuts:** Press `l` to toggle Large DB Mode, `c` for conservative, `p` to show recommendation.
 
-Flags available:
-- `--no-config` - Skip loading saved configuration
-- `--no-save-config` - Prevent saving configuration after operation
+**Troubleshooting Tools:**
 
-### Command Line Mode
+For PostgreSQL restore issues ("out of shared memory" errors), diagnostic scripts are available:
+- **diagnose_postgres_memory.sh** - Comprehensive system memory, PostgreSQL configuration, and resource analysis
+- **fix_postgres_locks.sh** - Automatically increase max_locks_per_transaction to 4096
 
-Backup single database:
+See [RESTORE_PROFILES.md](RESTORE_PROFILES.md) for detailed troubleshooting guidance.
 
-```bash
-./dbbackup backup single myapp_db
+**Database Status:**
+```
+Database Status & Health Check

-Backup entire cluster (PostgreSQL):
+### Command Line
 
 ```bash
-./dbbackup backup cluster
-```
+# Single database backup
+dbbackup backup single myapp_db
 
-Restore database:
+# Cluster backup (PostgreSQL)
+dbbackup backup cluster
 
-```bash
-./dbbackup restore single backup.dump --target myapp_db --create
-```
+# Sample backup (reduced data for testing)
+dbbackup backup sample myapp_db --sample-strategy percent --sample-value 10
 
-Restore full cluster:
+# Encrypted backup
+dbbackup backup single myapp_db --encrypt --encryption-key-file key.txt
 
-```bash
-./dbbackup restore cluster cluster_backup.tar.gz --confirm
+# Incremental backup
+dbbackup backup single myapp_db --backup-type incremental --base-backup base.tar.gz
+
+# Restore single database
+dbbackup restore single backup.dump --target myapp_db --create --confirm
+
+# Restore cluster
+dbbackup restore cluster cluster_backup.tar.gz --confirm
+
+# Restore with resource profile (for resource-constrained servers)
+dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --profile=conservative --confirm
+
+# Restore with debug logging (saves detailed error report on failure)
+dbbackup restore cluster backup.tar.gz --save-debug-log /tmp/restore-debug.json --confirm
+
+# Diagnose backup before restore
+dbbackup restore diagnose backup.dump.gz --deep
+
+# Check PostgreSQL lock configuration (preflight for large restores)
+# - warns/fails when `max_locks_per_transaction` is insufficient and prints exact remediation
+# - safe to run before a restore to determine whether single-threaded restore is required
+# Example:
+# dbbackup verify-locks
+
+# Cloud backup
+dbbackup backup single mydb --cloud s3://my-bucket/backups/
+
+# Dry-run mode (preflight checks without execution)
+dbbackup backup single mydb --dry-run
 ```

-#### Sample Backup
+## Backup Cleanup
 
-Create reduced-size backup for testing/development:
+Automatic retention management:
 
 ```bash
-./dbbackup backup sample DATABASE_NAME [OPTIONS]
+# Delete backups older than 30 days, keep minimum 5
+dbbackup cleanup /backups --retention-days 30 --min-backups 5
+
+# Preview deletions
+dbbackup cleanup /backups --retention-days 7 --dry-run
 ```
 
-**Options:**
+### GFS Retention Policy
 
-- `--sample-strategy STRING` - Strategy: ratio, percent, count (default: ratio)
-- `--sample-value FLOAT` - Sample value based on strategy (default: 10)
-
-**Examples:**
+Grandfather-Father-Son (GFS) retention provides tiered backup rotation:
 
 ```bash
-# Keep 10% of all rows
-./dbbackup backup sample myapp_db --sample-strategy percent --sample-value 10
+# GFS retention: 7 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly, 3 yearly
+dbbackup cleanup /backups --gfs \
+  --gfs-daily 7 \
+  --gfs-weekly 4 \
+  --gfs-monthly 12 \
+  --gfs-yearly 3
 
-# Keep 1 in 100 rows
-./dbbackup backup sample myapp_db --sample-strategy ratio --sample-value 100
+# Custom weekly day (Saturday) and monthly day (15th)
+dbbackup cleanup /backups --gfs \
+  --gfs-weekly-day Saturday \
+  --gfs-monthly-day 15
 
-# Keep 5000 rows per table
-./dbbackup backup sample myapp_db --sample-strategy count --sample-value 5000
+# Preview GFS deletions
+dbbackup cleanup /backups --gfs --dry-run
 ```
 
-**Warning:** Sample backups may break referential integrity.
+**GFS Tiers:**
+- **Daily**: Most recent N daily backups
+- **Weekly**: Best backup from each week (configurable day)
+- **Monthly**: Best backup from each month (configurable day)
+- **Yearly**: Best backup from January each year
 
-### Restore Operations

+## Backup Diagnosis
 
-#### Cluster Restore (PostgreSQL)
-
-Restore entire PostgreSQL cluster from archive:
+Diagnose backup files before restore to detect corruption or truncation:
 
 ```bash
-./dbbackup restore cluster ARCHIVE_FILE [OPTIONS]
+# Diagnose a backup file
+dbbackup restore diagnose backup.dump.gz
+
+# Deep analysis (line-by-line COPY block verification)
+dbbackup restore diagnose backup.dump.gz --deep
+
+# JSON output for automation
+dbbackup restore diagnose backup.dump.gz --json
+
+# Diagnose cluster archive (checks all contained dumps)
+dbbackup restore diagnose cluster_backup.tar.gz --deep
 ```
 
-**Options:**
+**Checks performed:**
+- PGDMP signature validation (PostgreSQL custom format)
+- Gzip integrity verification
+- COPY block termination (detects truncated dumps)
+- `pg_restore --list` validation
+- Archive structure analysis
 
-- `--confirm` - Confirm and execute restore (required for safety)

+
+## Prometheus Metrics
+
+Export backup metrics for monitoring with Prometheus:
+
+> **Migration Note (v1.x → v2.x):** The `--instance` flag was renamed to `--server` to avoid collision with Prometheus's reserved `instance` label. Update your cronjobs and scripts accordingly.
+
+### Textfile Collector
+
+For integration with node_exporter:
+
+```bash
+# Export metrics to textfile
+dbbackup metrics export --output /var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector/dbbackup.prom
+
+# Export for specific server
+dbbackup metrics export --server production --output /var/lib/dbbackup/metrics/production.prom
+```
+
+Configure node_exporter:
+```bash
+node_exporter --collector.textfile.directory=/var/lib/node_exporter/textfile_collector/
+```
+
+### HTTP Exporter
+
+Run a dedicated metrics HTTP server:
+
+```bash
+# Start metrics server on default port 9399
+dbbackup metrics serve
+
+# Custom port
+dbbackup metrics serve --port 9100
+
+# Run as systemd service (installed via --with-metrics)
+sudo systemctl start dbbackup-exporter
+```
+
+**Endpoints:**
+- `/metrics` - Prometheus exposition format
+- `/health` - Health check (returns 200 OK)
+
+**Available metrics:**
+| Metric | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `dbbackup_last_success_timestamp` | gauge | Unix timestamp of last successful backup |
+| `dbbackup_last_backup_duration_seconds` | gauge | Duration of last backup |
+| `dbbackup_last_backup_size_bytes` | gauge | Size of last backup |
+| `dbbackup_backup_total` | counter | Total backups by status (success/failure) |
+| `dbbackup_rpo_seconds` | gauge | Seconds since last successful backup |
+| `dbbackup_backup_verified` | gauge | Whether last backup was verified (1/0) |
+| `dbbackup_scrape_timestamp` | gauge | When metrics were collected |
+
+**Labels:** `instance`, `database`, `engine`
+
+**Example Prometheus query:**
+```promql
+# Alert if RPO exceeds 24 hours
+dbbackup_rpo_seconds{instance="production"} > 86400
+
+# Backup success rate
+sum(rate(dbbackup_backup_total{status="success"}[24h])) / sum(rate(dbbackup_backup_total[24h]))
 ```

 ## Performance
 
 ### Memory Usage
 
-Streaming architecture maintains constant memory usage:
+Streaming architecture maintains constant memory usage regardless of database size:
 
 | Database Size | Memory Usage |
 |---------------|--------------|
-| 1-10 GB      | ~800 MB      |
-| 10-50 GB     | ~900 MB      |
-| 50-100 GB    | ~950 MB      |
-| 100+ GB      | <1 GB        |
+| 1-100+ GB | < 1 GB |
 
-### Large Database Optimization
-
-- Databases >5GB automatically use plain format with streaming compression
-- Parallel compression via pigz (if available)
-- Per-database timeout: 4 hours default
-- Automatic format selection based on size
-
-### CPU Optimization
-
-Automatically detects CPU configuration and optimizes parallelism:
+### Optimization
 
 ```bash
-./dbbackup cpu

   --max-cores 32 \
   --jobs 32 \
-  --cpu-workload cpu-intensive
+  --cpu-workload cpu-intensive \
+  --compression 3
 ```
 
-### Parallelism
-
-```bash
-./dbbackup backup cluster --jobs 16 --dump-jobs 16
-```
-
-- `--jobs` - Compression/decompression parallel jobs
-- `--dump-jobs` - Database dump parallel jobs
-- `--max-cores` - Limit CPU cores (default: 16)
-- Cluster operations use worker pools with configurable parallelism (default: 2 concurrent databases)
-- Set `CLUSTER_PARALLELISM` environment variable to adjust concurrent database operations

-Options: `cpu-intensive`, `io-intensive`, `balanced` (default)
-
-Workload types automatically adjust Jobs and DumpJobs:
-- **Balanced**: Jobs = PhysicalCores, DumpJobs = PhysicalCores/2 (min 2)
-- **CPU-Intensive**: Jobs = PhysicalCores×2, DumpJobs = PhysicalCores (more parallelism)
-- **I/O-Intensive**: Jobs = PhysicalCores/2 (min 1), DumpJobs = 2 (less parallelism to avoid I/O contention)
-
-Configure in interactive mode via Configuration Settings menu.
-
-### Compression
-
-```bash
-./dbbackup backup single mydb --compression 9
-```
-
-- Level 0 = No compression (fastest)
-- Level 6 = Balanced (default)
-- Level 9 = Maximum compression (slowest)
-
-### SSL/TLS Configuration
-
-SSL modes: `disable`, `prefer`, `require`, `verify-ca`, `verify-full`
-
-```bash
-# Disable SSL
-./dbbackup backup single mydb --insecure
-
-# Require SSL
-./dbbackup backup single mydb --ssl-mode require
-
-# Verify certificate
-./dbbackup backup single mydb --ssl-mode verify-full
-```
-
-## Disaster Recovery
-
-Complete automated disaster recovery test:
-
-```bash
-sudo ./disaster_recovery_test.sh
-```
-
-This script:
-
-1. Backs up entire cluster with maximum performance
-2. Documents pre-backup state
-3. Destroys all user databases (confirmation required)
-4. Restores full cluster from backup
-5. Verifies restoration success
-
-**Warning:** Destructive operation. Use only in test environments.

+
+### For Users
+
+**Encryption Keys:**
+- - RECOMMENDED: Generate strong 32-byte keys: `head -c 32 /dev/urandom | base64 > key.file`
+- - RECOMMENDED: Store keys securely (KMS, HSM, or encrypted filesystem)
+- - RECOMMENDED: Use unique keys per environment
+- - AVOID: Never commit keys to version control
+- - AVOID: Never share keys over unencrypted channels
+
+**Database Credentials:**
+- - RECOMMENDED: Use read-only accounts for backups when possible
+- - RECOMMENDED: Rotate credentials regularly
+- - RECOMMENDED: Use environment variables or secure config files
+- - AVOID: Never hardcode credentials in scripts
+- - AVOID: Avoid using root/admin accounts
+
+**Backup Storage:**
+- - RECOMMENDED: Encrypt backups with `--encrypt` flag
+- - RECOMMENDED: Use secure cloud storage with encryption at rest
+- - RECOMMENDED: Implement proper access controls (IAM, ACLs)
+- - RECOMMENDED: Enable backup retention and versioning
+- - AVOID: Never store unencrypted backups on public storage
+
+**Docker Usage:**
+- - RECOMMENDED: Use specific version tags (`:v3.2.0` not `:latest`)
+- - RECOMMENDED: Run as non-root user (default in our image)
+- - RECOMMENDED: Mount volumes read-only when possible
+- - RECOMMENDED: Use Docker secrets for credentials
+- - AVOID: Don't run with `--privileged` unless necessary
+
+### For Developers
+
+**Code Security:**
+- Always validate user input
+- Use parameterized queries (no SQL injection)
+- Sanitize file paths (no directory traversal)
+- Handle errors securely (no sensitive data in logs)
+- Use crypto/rand for random generation
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- Keep dependencies updated
+- Review security advisories for Go packages
+- Use `go mod verify` to check integrity
+- Scan for vulnerabilities with `govulncheck`
+
+**Secrets in Code:**
+- Never commit secrets to git
+- Use `.gitignore` for sensitive files
+- Rotate any accidentally exposed credentials
+- Use environment variables for configuration
+
+## Known Security Considerations
+
+### Encryption
+
+**AES-256-GCM:**
+- Uses authenticated encryption (prevents tampering)
+- PBKDF2 with 600,000 iterations (OWASP 2023 recommendation)
+- Unique nonce per encryption operation
+- Secure random generation (crypto/rand)
+
+**Key Management:**
+- Keys are NOT stored by dbbackup
+- Users responsible for key storage and management

-   - Fix: Removed flag, added isIgnorableError() classification with regex patterns
-   - Result: PostgreSQL continues on ignorable errors as designed
-
-3. **Process Cleanup:** Zero orphaned processes
-   - Fix: Parent context propagation + explicit cleanup scan
-   - Result: All pg_restore/psql processes terminated cleanly
-
-4. **Memory Efficiency:** Constant ~1GB usage regardless of database size
-   - Method: Streaming command output
-   - Result: 42GB database restored with minimal memory footprint
-
-## Performance Analysis
-
-### Backup Performance
-
-**Strengths:**
-- Fast parallel backup of small databases (completed in seconds)
-- Efficient handling of large databases with streaming compression
-- Automatic format selection optimizes for size vs. speed
-- Perfect success rate (17/17 databases)
-
-**Throughput:**
-- Overall: ~47 MB/s average
-- d7030 (42GB database): ~19 MB/s sustained
-
-### Restore Performance
-
-**Strengths:**
-- Smart detection of large objects triggers sequential restore
-- No lock contention issues with 35,000 large objects
-- Clean database recreation ensures consistent state
-- Progress tracking with accurate ETA
-
-**Throughput:**
-- Overall: ~8 MB/s average (decompression + restore)
-- d7030 restore: ~15 MB/s sustained
-- Small databases: Near-instantaneous (<5 seconds each)
-
-### Bottlenecks Identified
-
-1. **Large Object Restore:** Sequential processing required to prevent lock exhaustion
-   - Impact: d7030 took ~48 minutes (single-threaded)
-   - Mitigation: Necessary trade-off for data integrity
-
-2. **Decompression Overhead:** gzip decompression is CPU-intensive
-   - Impact: ~40% slower than uncompressed restore
-   - Mitigation: Using pigz for parallel compression where available

-- **Result:** No memory leaks, proper resource cleanup on exit
-
-### Error Classification
-- **Implementation:** Regex-based pattern matching (6 error categories)
-- **Result:** Robust error handling, no false positives
-
-### Process Management
-- **Implementation:** Thread-safe ProcessManager with mutex
-- **Result:** Zero orphaned processes on Ctrl+C
-
-### Disk Space Caching
-- **Implementation:** 30-second TTL cache
-- **Result:** ~90% reduction in syscall overhead for repeated checks

+
+Similar to restic/borgbackup but with native database dump support.
+
+Features:
+- Content-defined chunking (CDC) with Buzhash rolling hash
+- SHA-256 content-addressed storage
+- AES-256-GCM encryption (optional)
+- Gzip compression (optional)
+- SQLite index for fast lookups
+
+Storage Structure:
+  <dedup-dir>/
+    chunks/       # Content-addressed chunk files
+      ab/cdef...  # Sharded by first 2 chars of hash
+    manifests/    # JSON manifest per backup
+    chunks.db     # SQLite index
+
+NFS/CIFS NOTICE:
+  SQLite may have locking issues on network storage.
+  Use --index-db to put the SQLite index on local storage while keeping
+  chunks on network storage:
+  
+    dbbackup dedup backup mydb.sql \
+      --dedup-dir /mnt/nfs/backups/dedup \
+      --index-db /var/lib/dbbackup/dedup-index.db
+
+  This avoids "database is locked" errors while still storing chunks remotely.
+
+COMPRESSED INPUT NOTICE:
+  Pre-compressed files (.gz) have poor deduplication ratios (<10%).

+1. Creates a backup from the source server
+2. Stores backup in a working directory
+3. Restores the backup to the target server
+4. Cleans up temporary files (unless --keep-backup)
+
+Supports PostgreSQL and MySQL cluster migration or single database migration.
+
+Examples:
+  # Migrate entire PostgreSQL cluster
+  dbbackup migrate cluster \
+    --source-host old-server --source-port 5432 --source-user postgres \
+    --target-host new-server --target-port 5432 --target-user postgres \

+This command:
+1. Connects to source server and lists all databases
+2. Creates individual backups of each database
+3. Restores each database to target server
+4. Optionally cleans up backup files after successful migration
+
+Requirements:
+- Database client tools (pg_dump/pg_restore or mysqldump/mysql)
+- Network access to both source and target servers
+- Sufficient disk space in working directory for backups

+Safety features:
+- Dry-run mode by default (use --confirm to execute)

+- Optional backup retention after migration

+  - Configure update interval (default: 30s)

+
+  # Show configuration instructions
+  dbbackup progress-webhooks enable --interval 60s

+# dbbackup Kubernetes Deployment
+
+Kubernetes manifests for running dbbackup as scheduled CronJobs.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+# Create namespace
+kubectl create namespace dbbackup
+
+# Create secrets
+kubectl create secret generic dbbackup-db-credentials \
+  --namespace dbbackup \
+  --from-literal=password=your-db-password
+
+# Apply manifests
+kubectl apply -f . --namespace dbbackup
+
+# Check CronJob
+kubectl get cronjobs -n dbbackup
+```
+
+## Components
+
+- `configmap.yaml` - Configuration settings
+- `secret.yaml` - Credentials template (use kubectl create secret instead)
+- `cronjob.yaml` - Scheduled backup job
+- `pvc.yaml` - Persistent volume for backup storage
+- `servicemonitor.yaml` - Prometheus ServiceMonitor (optional)
+
+## Customization
+
+Edit `configmap.yaml` to configure:
+- Database connection
+- Backup schedule
+- Retention policy
+- Cloud storage
+

+- [Troubleshooting](#troubleshooting)
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Azure Portal Setup
+
+1. Create a storage account in Azure Portal
+2. Create a container for backups
+3. Get your account credentials:
+   - **Account Name**: Your storage account name
+   - **Account Key**: Primary or secondary access key (from Access Keys section)
+
+### 2. Basic Backup
+
+```bash
+# Backup PostgreSQL to Azure
+dbbackup backup single mydb \
+  --cloud "azure://mycontainer/backups/?account=myaccount&key=ACCOUNT_KEY"
+```
+
+### 3. Restore from Azure
+
+```bash
+# Download backup from Azure and restore
+dbbackup cloud download "azure://mycontainer/backups/mydb.dump.gz?account=myaccount&key=ACCOUNT_KEY" ./mydb.dump.gz
+dbbackup restore single ./mydb.dump.gz --target mydb_restored --confirm
+```
+
+## URI Syntax
+
+### Basic Format
+
+```
+azure://container/path/to/backup.sql?account=ACCOUNT_NAME&key=ACCOUNT_KEY
+```
+
+### URI Components
+
+| Component | Required | Description | Example |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `container` | Yes | Azure container name | `mycontainer` |
+| `path` | Yes | Object path within container | `backups/db.sql` |
+| `account` | Yes | Storage account name | `mystorageaccount` |
+| `key` | Yes | Storage account key | `base64-encoded-key` |
+| `endpoint` | No | Custom endpoint (Azurite) | `http://localhost:10000` |
+
+### URI Examples
+
+**Production Azure:**
+```
+azure://prod-backups/postgres/db.sql?account=prodaccount&key=YOUR_KEY_HERE
+```
+
+**Azurite Emulator:**
+```
+azure://test-backups/postgres/db.sql?endpoint=http://localhost:10000&account=devstoreaccount1&key=Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==
+```
+
+**With Path Prefix:**
+```
+azure://backups/production/postgres/2024/db.sql?account=myaccount&key=KEY
+```
+
+## Authentication
+
+### Method 1: URI Parameters (Recommended for CLI)
+
+Pass credentials directly in the URI:
+
+```bash
+azure://container/path?account=myaccount&key=YOUR_ACCOUNT_KEY
+```
+
+### Method 2: Environment Variables
+
+Set credentials via environment:
+
+```bash
+export AZURE_STORAGE_ACCOUNT="myaccount"
+export AZURE_STORAGE_KEY="YOUR_ACCOUNT_KEY"
+
+# Use simplified URI (credentials from environment)
+dbbackup backup single mydb --cloud "azure://container/path/"
+```
+
+### Method 3: Connection String
+
+Use Azure connection string:
+
+```bash
+export AZURE_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING="DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName=myaccount;AccountKey=YOUR_KEY;EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net"
+
+dbbackup backup single mydb --cloud "azure://container/path/"
+```
+
+### Getting Your Account Key
+
+1. Go to Azure Portal → Storage Accounts
+2. Select your storage account
+3. Navigate to **Security + networking** → **Access keys**
+4. Copy **key1** or **key2**
+
+**Important:** Keep your account keys secure. Use Azure Key Vault for production.
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Container Setup
+
+Create a container before first use:
+
+```bash
+# Azure CLI
+az storage container create \
+  --name backups \
+  --account-name myaccount \
+  --account-key YOUR_KEY
+
+# Or let dbbackup create it automatically
+dbbackup cloud upload file.sql "azure://backups/file.sql?account=myaccount&key=KEY&create=true"
+```
+
+### Access Tiers
+
+Azure Blob Storage offers multiple access tiers:
+
+- **Hot**: Frequent access (default)
+- **Cool**: Infrequent access (lower storage cost)
+- **Archive**: Long-term retention (lowest cost, retrieval delay)
+
+Set the tier in Azure Portal or using Azure CLI:
+
+```bash
+az storage blob set-tier \
+  --container-name backups \
+  --name backup.sql \
+  --tier Cool \
+  --account-name myaccount
+```
+
+### Lifecycle Management
+
+Configure automatic tier transitions:
+
+```json
+{
+  "rules": [
+    {
+      "name": "moveToArchive",
+      "type": "Lifecycle",
+      "definition": {
+        "filters": {
+          "blobTypes": ["blockBlob"],
+          "prefixMatch": ["backups/"]
+        },
+        "actions": {
+          "baseBlob": {
+            "tierToCool": {
+              "daysAfterModificationGreaterThan": 30
+            },
+            "tierToArchive": {
+              "daysAfterModificationGreaterThan": 90
+            },
+            "delete": {
+              "daysAfterModificationGreaterThan": 365
+            }
+          }
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Backup with Auto-Upload
+
+```bash
+# PostgreSQL backup with automatic Azure upload
+dbbackup backup single production_db \
+  --cloud "azure://prod-backups/postgres/?account=myaccount&key=KEY" \
+  --compression 6
+```
+
+### Backup All Databases
+
+```bash
+# Backup entire PostgreSQL cluster to Azure
+dbbackup backup cluster \
+  --cloud "azure://prod-backups/postgres/cluster/?account=myaccount&key=KEY"
+```
+
+### Verify Backup
+
+```bash
+# Verify backup integrity
+dbbackup verify "azure://prod-backups/postgres/backup.sql?account=myaccount&key=KEY"
+```
+
+### List Backups
+
+```bash
+# List all backups in container
+dbbackup cloud list "azure://prod-backups/postgres/?account=myaccount&key=KEY"
+
+# List with pattern
+dbbackup cloud list "azure://prod-backups/postgres/2024/?account=myaccount&key=KEY"
+```
+
+### Download Backup
+
+```bash
+# Download from Azure to local
+dbbackup cloud download \
+  "azure://prod-backups/postgres/backup.sql?account=myaccount&key=KEY" \
+  /local/path/backup.sql
+```
+
+### Delete Old Backups
+
+```bash
+# Manual delete
+dbbackup cloud delete "azure://prod-backups/postgres/old_backup.sql?account=myaccount&key=KEY"
+
+# Automatic cleanup (keep last 7 days, min 5 backups)
+dbbackup cleanup "azure://prod-backups/postgres/?account=myaccount&key=KEY" --retention-days 7 --min-backups 5
+```
+
+### Scheduled Backups
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Azure backup script (run via cron)
+
+AZURE_URI="azure://prod-backups/postgres/?account=myaccount&key=${AZURE_STORAGE_KEY}"
+
+dbbackup backup single production_db \
+  --cloud "${AZURE_URI}" \
+  --compression 9
+
+# Cleanup old backups
+dbbackup cleanup "azure://prod-backups/postgres/?account=myaccount&key=${AZURE_STORAGE_KEY}" --retention-days 30 --min-backups 5
+```
+
+**Crontab:**
+```cron
+# Daily at 2 AM
+0 2 * * * /usr/local/bin/azure-backup.sh >> /var/log/azure-backup.log 2>&1
+```
+
+## Advanced Features
+
+### Block Blob Upload
+
+For large files (>256MB), dbbackup automatically uses Azure Block Blob staging:
+
+- **Block Size**: 100MB per block
+- **Parallel Upload**: Multiple blocks uploaded concurrently
+- **Checksum**: SHA-256 integrity verification
+
+```bash
+# Large database backup (automatically uses block blob)
+dbbackup backup single huge_db \
+  --cloud "azure://backups/?account=myaccount&key=KEY"
+```
+
+### Progress Tracking
+
+```bash
+# Backup with progress display
+dbbackup backup single mydb \
+  --cloud "azure://backups/?account=myaccount&key=KEY"
+```
+
+### Concurrent Operations
+
+```bash
+# Backup cluster with parallel jobs
+dbbackup backup cluster \
+  --cloud "azure://backups/cluster/?account=myaccount&key=KEY" \
+  --jobs 4
+```
+
+### Custom Metadata
+
+Backups include SHA-256 checksums as blob metadata:
+
+```bash
+# Verify metadata using Azure CLI
+az storage blob metadata show \
+  --container-name backups \
+  --name backup.sql \
+  --account-name myaccount
+```
+
+## Testing with Azurite
+
+### Setup Azurite Emulator
+
+**Docker Compose:**
+```yaml
+services:
+  azurite:
+    image: mcr.microsoft.com/azure-storage/azurite:latest
+    ports:
+      - "10000:10000"
+      - "10001:10001"
+      - "10002:10002"
+    command: azurite --blobHost 0.0.0.0 --loose
+```
+
+**Start:**
+```bash
+docker-compose -f docker-compose.azurite.yml up -d
+```
+
+### Default Azurite Credentials
+
+```
+Account Name: devstoreaccount1
+Account Key: Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw==
+Endpoint: http://localhost:10000/devstoreaccount1
+```
+
+### Test Backup
+
+```bash
+# Backup to Azurite
+dbbackup backup single testdb \
+  --cloud "azure://test-backups/?endpoint=http://localhost:10000&account=devstoreaccount1&key=Eby8vdM02xNOcqFlqUwJPLlmEtlCDXJ1OUzFT50uSRZ6IFsuFq2UVErCz4I6tq/K1SZFPTOtr/KBHBeksoGMGw=="
+```
+
+### Run Integration Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run comprehensive test suite
+./scripts/test_azure_storage.sh
+```
+
+Tests include:
+- PostgreSQL and MySQL backups
+- Upload/download operations
+- Large file handling (300MB+)
+- Verification and cleanup
+- Restore operations
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Security
+
+- **Never commit credentials** to version control
+- Use **Azure Key Vault** for production keys
+- Rotate account keys regularly
+- Use **Shared Access Signatures (SAS)** for limited access
+- Enable **Azure AD authentication** when possible
+
+### 2. Performance
+
+- Use **compression** for faster uploads: `--compression 6`
+- Enable **parallelism** for cluster backups: `--parallelism 4`
+- Choose appropriate **Azure region** (close to source)
+- Use **Premium Storage** for high throughput
+
+### 3. Cost Optimization
+
+- Use **Cool tier** for backups older than 30 days
+- Use **Archive tier** for long-term retention (>90 days)
+- Enable **lifecycle management** for automatic transitions
+- Monitor storage costs in Azure Cost Management
+
+### 4. Reliability
+
+- Test **restore procedures** regularly
+- Use **retention policies**: `--retention-days 30`
+- Enable **soft delete** in Azure (30-day recovery)
+- Monitor backup success with Azure Monitor
+
+### 5. Organization
+
+- Use **consistent naming**: `{database}/{date}/{backup}.sql`
+- Use **container prefixes**: `prod-backups`, `dev-backups`
+- Tag backups with **metadata** (version, environment)
+- Document restore procedures
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Issues
+
+**Problem:** `failed to create Azure client`
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Verify account name is correct
+- Check account key (copy from Azure Portal)
+- Ensure endpoint is accessible (firewall rules)
+- For Azurite, confirm `http://localhost:10000` is running
+
+### Authentication Errors
+
+**Problem:** `authentication failed`
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Check for spaces/special characters in key
+- Verify account key hasn't been rotated
+- Try using connection string method
+- Check Azure firewall rules (allow your IP)
+
+### Upload Failures
+
+**Problem:** `failed to upload blob`
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Check container exists (or use `&create=true`)
+- Verify sufficient storage quota
+- Check network connectivity
+- Try smaller files first (test connection)
+
+### Large File Issues
+
+**Problem:** Upload timeout for large files
+
+**Solutions:**
+- dbbackup automatically uses block blob for files >256MB
+- Increase compression: `--compression 9`
+- Check network bandwidth
+- Use Azure Premium Storage for better throughput
+
+### List/Download Issues
+
+**Problem:** `blob not found`
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Verify blob name (check Azure Portal)
+- Check container name is correct
+- Ensure blob hasn't been moved/deleted
+- Check if blob is in Archive tier (requires rehydration)
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+**Problem:** Slow upload/download
+
+**Solutions:**
+- Use compression: `--compression 6`
+- Choose closer Azure region
+- Check network bandwidth
+- Use Azure Premium Storage
+- Enable parallelism for multiple files
+
+### Debugging
+
+Enable debug mode:
+
+```bash
+dbbackup backup single mydb \
+  --cloud "azure://container/?account=myaccount&key=KEY" \
+  --debug
+```
+
+Check Azure logs:
+
+```bash
+# Azure CLI
+az monitor activity-log list \
+  --resource-group mygroup \
+  --namespace Microsoft.Storage
+```
