writeSafetyDump called DumpOne into the app's OWN unit dir and renamed the result
to pre-restore-* afterwards. DumpOne writes <stack>-<dbtype>.sql - the app's
canonical dump - so every safety dump overwrote the app's real backup and then
moved it away, leaving the app with no database backup until the next nightly
run. A local restore-from-unit in that window tells the customer the app never
had a database.
The comment beside it asserted the rename meant it 'can never overwrite the app's
real dump'. False as written, and believed for four months. Measured live before
the fix: docmost and bookstack each held only pre-restore-* files and no
canonical dump.
DumpOneTo takes the final path and derives its own .tmp from it. DumpOne keeps
its signature and calls it with the canonical name. writeSafetyDump asks for its
own name directly; the rename is gone; the comment now states the invariant and
how it is enforced.
db_dumps no longer lists the undo copies. All three consumers of Manifest.DBDumps
were grepped and named - all inside recovery_unit.go, none reads it for recovery.
The files are neither deleted nor hidden.
Tests 1485 -> 1493. FIVE red-proofs, TWO PASSED first time and both are reported:
the behavioural tests inject the dump seam so a mutation inside DumpOneTo was
invisible, and 1.3 had no test at all. Guards added at the layer each defect
lives in; both mutations then convicted.
appbackup's path helpers take a NAMESPACE ROOT. Five call sites passed a bare DRIVE path.
On an enrolled drive the two coincide, so nothing showed; on the system-data fallback they
differ by exactly the felhom-data segment, and the app then bound a directory the off-site
capture set never looked at -- while the run reported ok. Measured live on demo-hp: the app
wrote to /mnt/sys_drive/userdata/media/books, the capture set looked for
/mnt/sys_drive/felhom-data/userdata/media/books.
THE RULE NOW HAS ONE EXPRESSION. appbackup.NamespaceRootFor / IsEnrolledDrive encode the
drive-kind comparison; backup.Manager.namespaceRoot and stacks.Manager.inGuest delegate to
it. There were already TWO copies and they differed -- the backup package's compared without
filepath.Clean, the stacks package's with it, so a trailing slash from config would have
flipped the mode in one and not the other.
Sites routed through it:
- stacks/deploy.go withPathVars -> ${USERDATA_PATH} (the live defect)
- appexport/fabplan.go + export.go (via a new provider method)
- web/handlers.go FileBrowser mounts (latent: the system drive is
deliberately never a registered StoragePath, so this is the identity today)
ComputeFabBuckets now receives the namespace root, which is what ComputeCaptureSet has always
received -- so the export's classified paths and the backup's capture set describe the same
directories by construction instead of by coincidence.
Tests are table-driven over BOTH drive kinds, because this survived by being invisible on the
kind that already worked. Red-proofs observed: restoring the bare-path call fails the
system-drive row with the two paths differing by /felhom-data; inverting the drive-kind
comparison fails every enrolled row.
Closes R-47. No new agent coupling — MinAgent stays 0.90.0.
The replay needs a running DB container, so both restore paths started the
WHOLE stack first, giving the application a window to rebuild the very schema
objects the dump was about to create. Measured live on 2026-07-19 (H4,
DIAG-immich-restore-round2): immich-server rebuilt clip_index two seconds
before the dump's CREATE INDEX, the replay aborted "already exists" under
ON_ERROR_STOP=1, and immich reported schema drift. The data survived only
because pg_dump emits COPY before CREATE INDEX.
Both paths now open a DB-ONLY window: only the stack's database service(s)
come up, the dump is replayed with the app still down, and the full start
runs only after the replay exits 0. Fail-closed: a dump with no identifiable
DB service refuses BEFORE the first mutation. Every exit from the window
still does a best-effort full start, so a failed restore never leaves a box
with a database and no application.
New: appbackup.DBServiceNames (yaml.v3 services-map parse — never a line
scan; immich's top-level volume keys are the decoy) sharing dbTypeForImage
with DiscoverDatabases; stacks.Manager.StartStackServices (refuses an empty
list — argument-less `up -d` is a full start); RedeployFromEnv split into
PersistUnitRedeployConfig + its unchanged tail. StackDataProvider's
RecreateStackFromUnit becomes RecreateStackDefinitionFromUnit — the hidden
`up -d` inside the old name is what carried the defect on the local path.
19 new tests (ordering plus state-at-replay-time, zero-mutation fail-closed
effects, replay-failure bring-up, parser decoys, empty-list refusal); three
companion red-proofs run and reverted. 23/23 packages green.
Not yet live-validated: STOP-1 supervised reconstitute, golden 0.153.0.
tier2_capture.go: classified apps get TierSecondary per-bind legs (paperless copy shrinks — export
drops); legacy apps keep the byte-identical resolver set. v2 relpath-mirroring layout
(backups/secondary/<stack>/{marker LAST, recovery-unit/, hdd/<rel>/, userdata/<rel>/}); N>1 native
(errTier2MultiDir/tier2AppDataName deleted). Migration=delete-and-rebuild + reconcile; all RemoveAll
via tier2SafeRemove (refuses outside backups/secondary/). SSD=state-only tier. selectTier2Target
never picks network storage (pinned+auto, F-6C-1). Restore reads v2 behind a marker gate.
Part 0: offbox_enlarge_blocked is a persisted one-time Load seed (opt-out sticks), not a getter
append. Part 0.5: offsite restore scratch prefers a local (non-network) path.
Full v2 test suite + all 10 §10 red-proofs verified. Destructive writes bounded to backups/secondary/.
Task 2 of the backup-classification-redesign arc. Ships the referential-
coupling classification as DATA + PARSER + PURE CLASSIFIER, deliberately
inert — no backup tier changes behavior. Task 3 (tier policy engine) and
Task 4 (manual .fab UI) consume it.
- appbackup/classify.go: BackupSpec/BindSpec/ComposeBind/ClassifiedBind;
ClassifyBinds (SQ5 two-level default — explicit beats :ro; unlisted
writable→mandatory, unlisted :ro→excluded; nil spec→legacy/false);
ValidateBackupSpec (whole-block-reject on any defect, first defect named).
- stacks/classify_binds.go: ParseComposeClassifiableBinds — ${VAR}-relative
binds + :ro flag (NOT ParseComposeHDDMounts/ExportDataMounts, the traps).
- Metadata.Backup + LoadMetadata as the single validation choke point (bad
catalog block → nil + one ERROR → legacy, within one sync cycle).
- Manager.ClassifiedBinds + StackDataProvider.GetStackClassifiedBinds seam
(delegated by stackAdapter, nil-stubbed in every fake) — wired + tested
now so Task 3 consumes a tested seam.
INERT: full pre-existing suite green with zero test-logic edits. +14 tests;
red-proofs RP-1..RP-4 confirmed. The 13 catalog backup: blocks ship in the
same app-catalog change (this controller deploys first).

The controller assumed an app's HDD appdata dir is always appdata/<stackName>.
paperless-ngx writes appdata/paperless (stack paperless-ngx), so every consumer
keying by stack name silently missed it via a stat-and-skip. One canonical
resolver appbackup.AppDataDirNames derives the real dir name(s) from the app's
compose ${HDD_PATH} binds; all consumers use it.
- F-S2 (tier-2): RunTier2 mirrors the resolved appdata/<name> (paperless docs
got NO tier-2 copy before). Tier2Info size + RestoreTier2Files live dir use it.
WARN when a declared appdata dir is absent. New tier2Mirror seam.
- F-S3 (migrate, NEW): all six per-app appdata legs (collision/size/copy/verify/
cleanup/skip-set) now loop resolved names. scope="app" migration of paperless
previously copied nothing and left an empty media dir (scope="all" was saved by
the merge walk). WARN on missing declared dir in the copy leg.
- Multi-dir (N>1) refusal: tier-2 backup/info/restore refuse loudly (Hungarian);
migrate supports N. No catalog app hits it today; lifted by Task 3.
- Display: storage page sums resolved dirs.
- Truth repair: the v0.130.0 "tier-2 copies the namespace wholesale" claim is
false; corrected in CHANGELOG + main.go export-adapter comment.
+9 tests; red-proofs RP-1..RP-5 all confirmed. Controller-only, no agent/hub
coupling. Task 1 of the backup-classification-redesign arc.

ListDumpFiles ran ValidateDump (line-by-line scan) for every dump on every ~5-min
RefreshCache cycle — wasted I/O+CPU on large customer dumps. ListDumpFiles now takes
an optional cached(name,size,mod) lookup; on a (size+modtime) match it reuses the
prior result and skips ValidateDump. settings.DBValidationCache gains Size+ModTime;
listAllDumpFiles builds the lookup from the persisted cache and writes back only fresh
validations (cache miss), so an unchanged dump triggers neither a re-validation nor a
settings.json write each cycle. nil cached = legacy validate-always (back-compat).
Tests: cache-hit skips validate (sentinel), cache-miss validates, nil validates.
deriveStackName pure-suffix-stripped on '-' (postgres/db/mariadb/.../cache), so a
stack whose slug ENDS in a role token (e.g. 'my-cache') was misattributed (stripped
to 'my') — filing its DB dump under the wrong/nonexistent stack. Now threads the set
of deployed stack names (m.knownStackNames() <- ListDeployedStacks) into
DiscoverDatabases and cross-references: candidate suffix-strip if known, else the
container name if it IS a known stack, else longest known stack that is a prefix
(handles <stack>_postgres / <stack>-1), else legacy strip. nil/empty known = legacy
behaviour (appexport passes nil). Table test incl. the my-cache case (fails pre-fix).
The restore paths (RestoreFromRecoveryUnit + the RestoreApp fallback) repopulated
Docker volume tars but NEVER replayed the captured <stack>-<dbtype>.sql dump, so
DB-resident data (e.g. rows in a DB whose data dir is a bind mount) did not come
back — the romm marker round-trip in the audit lost the row.
New appbackup.ImportDump (read-side counterpart to DumpOne) replays a .sql/.sql.gz
into the running DB using the live container's OWN discovered credentials (no env
threading; reuses DiscoveredDB + getMariaDBPassword). backup.reimportDBDumps
orchestrates it AFTER volume restore + stack bring-up, so the logical dump WINS
over any volume-tar copy of the DB (operator-chosen precedence). pg_dump
--clean --if-exists and mariadb-dump (default --add-drop-table) make replay
idempotent; psql ON_ERROR_STOP=1 surfaces real import errors.
Also: volume-restore per-volume failures and DB-import failures now SURFACE (the
restore returns an error) instead of a swallowed WARN, so a failed data restore
cannot read as success.
Tests (restore_db_test.go, injectable discover/import seams): imports when dump+DB
present, failure surfaces, no-dump skips discovery, dump-but-no-matching-DB is a
non-fatal skip. Live DB round-trip to be validated post-deploy.
- Backups page: whole-guest backup shown as real DR — target label "Biztonsági szerver –
külön hardver (PBS)"; app-data "Távoli mentés" card now reflects the PBS offsite tier
(guestBackupView.Offsite) instead of "nincs beállítva".
- Model-A double-nest fix: appbackup path helpers take a felhom-data NAMESPACE ROOT (no
internal felhom-data join); backup.Manager.namespaceRoot/AppNamespaceRoot resolve
HDD-vs-systemDataPath provenance so a drive-resident app's backups land single-nested
(<drive>/backups/... on the guest = <drive>/felhom-data/backups/... on the host) instead
of .../felhom-data/felhom-data/.... Writes, deletion (GetStackBackupData/RemoveStack/
ProtectedHDDPaths), wipe-warning scan, and export updated coherently; legacy double-nest
dirs kept protected. New appbackup test asserts no doubled segment.

Extract the stateless, keep-side app-data backup primitives out of
internal/backup/ into a new self-contained internal/appbackup/ package:
- dbdump.go: DB dump discovery/execution (DiscoverDatabases, DumpOne, ...)
- appdata.go: StackDataProvider + app-data/volume discovery, HumanizeBytes
- paths.go: keep-side path helpers (AppDBDumpPath, AppVolumeDumpPath, AppDataDir)
backup/ keeps every name available via type/const aliases + one-line function
forwarders (appbackup_bridge.go), so the still-present delete-side code
(restic, cross-drive, drive-mount) and the both-side consumers (web/api/report)
compile unchanged. The keep-only consumers appexport and storage are rewired to
import appbackup directly and no longer import backup.
This is the Part-2 prerequisite for the Proxmox port: appbackup has zero
references to restic/cross-drive/drive-mount and does not import backup, so the
delete-side can later be removed without breaking app-data backup or appexport.
Behaviour-preserving: pure move + import/qualifier rewrites, no logic edits.
The four Manager methods (RunDBDumps/DumpAppVolumes/DumpAppVolumesSafe share the
delete-side mutex/status state; RestoreAppFromTier2 reads the cross-drive mirror)
intentionally stay on Manager and delegate to appbackup — for the re-platform step.
