From ef7f17610f5104760891181282993f490068412c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kev Date: Sun, 19 Jul 2026 22:27:58 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Backup: durable on-box volume, off-box DEFERRED, and a real read-back check MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit BACKUP_DIR is now a persistent volume (/app/backups), so the dump already survives redeploys — the container-ephemeral risk that made this urgent is closed. Storage Box SSH auth is not sorted yet, so the off-box push is explicitly DEFERRED rather than failing: - gated on BACKUP_OFFBOX=1 (plus BACKUP_REMOTE and BACKUP_SSH_KEY); until then the script logs "off-box push DEFERRED" and exits clean. - if an enabled push DOES fail, it is a LOW-priority "deferred" notice, not a failure — the durable on-box dump succeeded, and calling that an incident would train us to ignore backup alerts. Adds the read-back check, because a backup nobody has read is a hope: countRowsInDump() runs `pg_restore --data-only --table=X -f -` and counts the rows between `FROM stdin;` and the terminating `\.`, proving the archive CONTAINS the data rather than merely parsing. Needs no Postgres server, so it runs inside the API container. Validated against a real pg_dump from a scratch Postgres: counted exactly 604 rows. GET /api/internal/backup/verify exposes it (newest dump in BACKUP_DIR, size, table, rows_in_dump). Unit tests inject spawn/fs so CI needs neither docker nor pg_restore. Suite 278/3310 green, build exit 0.
