Changelog

All notable changes to dbbackup will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[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:

// 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

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

[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
• Cluster restore pre-validates ALL dumps upfront (fail-fast approach)
• Custom format .dump files now validated with pg_restore --list

Improved Error Messages:

• Clear indication when dump file is truncated
• Shows which table's COPY block was interrupted
• Displays sample orphaned data for diagnosis
• Provides actionable error messages with root cause

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:

# 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)

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:

# Full backup (base)
./dbbackup backup single mydb --db-type mysql --backup-type full

# Incremental backup
./dbbackup backup single mydb \
  --db-type mysql \

  --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:
