## ⚙️ Configuration

### CPU Optimization Settings

| Flag | Description | Default | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|---------|
| `--auto-detect-cores` | Enable automatic CPU detection | `true` | `--auto-detect-cores` |
| `--jobs` | Parallel restore jobs | Auto-detected | `--jobs 8` |
| `--dump-jobs` | Parallel backup jobs | Auto-detected | `--dump-jobs 4` |
| `--max-cores` | Maximum cores to use | Auto-detected | `--max-cores 16` |
| `--cpu-workload` | Workload type | `balanced` | `--cpu-workload cpu-intensive` |

#### Workload Types:
- **`balanced`**: Uses logical cores (default)
- **`cpu-intensive`**: Uses physical cores (best for dumps)
- **`io-intensive`**: Uses 2x logical cores (best for restores)

### Database Configuration

| Flag | Description | Default | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|---------|
| `--host` | Database host | `localhost` | `--host db.example.com` |
| `--port` | Database port | `5432` (PG), `3306` (MySQL) | `--port 5432` |
| `--user` | Database user | `postgres` (PG), `root` (MySQL) | `--user backup_user` |
| `--database` | Database name | `postgres` | `--database myapp_db` |
| `-d`, `--db-type` | Database type (`postgres`, `mysql`, `mariadb`) | `postgres` | `-d mysql` |
| `--ssl-mode` | SSL mode | `prefer` | `--ssl-mode require` |
| `--insecure` | Disable SSL | `false` | `--insecure` |

### PostgreSQL Options

- Use the built-in `postgres` role whenever possible (`sudo -u postgres dbbackup ...`) so `pg_dump`/`pg_restore` inherit the right permissions.
- `--db-type postgres` is the default; include it explicitly when running mixed test suites or automation.
- `--ssl-mode` accepts PostgreSQL modes (`disable`, `prefer`, `require`, `verify-ca`, `verify-full`). Leave unset for local socket connections or set to `require` for TLS-only environments.
- Add `--insecure` to force `sslmode=disable` when working against local clusters or CI containers without certificates.
- Cluster operations (`backup cluster`, `restore`, `verify`) are PostgreSQL-only; the command will validate the target type before executing.

### MySQL / MariaDB Options

- Set `--db-type mysql` (or `mariadb`) to load the MySQL driver; the tool normalizes either value.
- Provide connection parameters explicitly: `--host 127.0.0.1 --port 3306 --user backup_user --password **** --database backup_demo`.
- The `--password` flag passes credentials to both `mysql` and `mysqldump`; alternatively export `MYSQL_PWD` for non-interactive runs.
- Use `--insecure` to emit `--skip-ssl` for servers without TLS. When TLS is required, choose `--ssl-mode require|verify-ca|verify-identity`.
- MySQL backups are emitted as `.sql.gz` files; restore previews display the exact `gunzip | mysql` pipeline that will execute once `--confirm` support is introduced.

## 🚀 Performance Optimization

### Automatic CPU Detection

The tool automatically detects your system's CPU configuration and optimizes job counts:

```bash
# View detected CPU information
dbbackup cpu

# Example output:
# Architecture: amd64
# Logical Cores: 16
# Physical Cores: 8
# Model: Intel Xeon CPU E5-2667 v4
# Recommended jobs (balanced): 16
```

### Big Server Optimization

For high-core systems with large databases:

```bash
# Example: 32-core server with large database
dbbackup backup cluster \
  --jobs 24 \
  --dump-jobs 12 \
  --max-cores 32 \
  --cpu-workload cpu-intensive \
  --compression 9
```

### Memory Considerations

- **Small databases** (< 1GB): Use default settings (~500MB memory)
- **Medium databases** (1-10GB): Default settings work great (~800MB memory)
- **Large databases** (10-50GB): Auto-optimized (~900MB memory)
- **Huge databases** (50-100GB+): **Fully supported** (~1GB constant memory)
- **BLOB-heavy databases**: Streaming architecture handles any size

### Architecture Improvements

#### Phase 1: Streaming & Smart Format Selection ✅
- **Zero-copy I/O**: pg_dump writes directly to pigz
- **Smart format**: Plain format for >5GB databases (no TOC overhead)
- **Streaming compression**: No intermediate Go buffers
- **Result**: 90% memory reduction

#### Phase 2: Native pgx v5 Integration ✅
- **Connection pooling**: Optimized 2-10 connection pool
- **Binary protocol**: Lower CPU usage for type conversion
- **Better BLOB handling**: Native streaming support
- **Runtime tuning**: work_mem=64MB, maintenance_work_mem=256MB
- **Result**: 48% memory reduction, 30-50% faster queries

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### CPU Detection Issues
```bash
# If auto-detection fails, manually set values
dbbackup backup single mydb --auto-detect-cores=false --jobs 4 --dump-jobs 2
```

#### Connection Issues
```bash
# Test connection
dbbackup status --debug

# Common fixes
dbbackup status --insecure                    # Disable SSL
dbbackup status --ssl-mode=disable           # Explicit SSL disable
sudo -u postgres dbbackup status             # Use postgres user (Linux)
```

#### Performance Issues
```bash
# Check CPU optimization
dbbackup cpu

# Try different workload types
dbbackup backup single mydb --cpu-workload io-intensive
```

#### Out of Memory (OOM) Issues

If backups are being killed by the system with "signal: killed" errors:

```bash
# Check kernel logs for OOM killer events
dmesg --ctime | grep -i -E "oom|kill|memory"
journalctl -k --since "1 hour ago" | grep -i oom

# Check current memory and swap
free -h
swapon --show

# Option 1: Enable automatic swap file management (Linux + root only)
export AUTO_SWAP=true
export SWAP_FILE_SIZE_GB=8
sudo dbbackup backup cluster

# Option 2: Manually add swap before backup
sudo fallocate -l 8G /swapfile
sudo chmod 600 /swapfile
sudo mkswap /swapfile
sudo swapon /swapfile
# Run your backup
dbbackup backup cluster
# Cleanup after
sudo swapoff /swapfile
sudo rm /swapfile

# Option 3: Reduce memory usage
export DUMP_JOBS=2           # Fewer parallel jobs
export COMPRESS_LEVEL=3      # Lower compression
dbbackup backup cluster
```

**Note**: Automatic swap management (`AUTO_SWAP=true`) requires:
- Linux operating system
- Root privileges (run with `sudo`)
- Available disk space for the swap file

The tool will automatically create, enable, and cleanup the temporary swap file during cluster backups.

### Debug Mode

```bash
# Enable detailed logging
dbbackup backup single mydb --debug
```
